CBS News also projects Hillary Rodham Clinton will defeat Barack Obama in the Puerto Rico presidential primary.
In a CBS News poll conducted by telephone among likely voters in Puerto Rico, 74 percent of Democrats had a favorable opinion of Clinton, while 53 percent had a favorable opinion of Obama.
Seventy-two percent of those polled in Puerto Rico said that Clinton shares their values, and 54 percent said that Obama does.
Women made up 43 percent of Puerto Rico's likely Democratic voters, and 61 percent of them supported Clinton, while 30 percent backed Obama. Fifty-seven percent of likely voters were men, and they also supported Clinton 61 percent to 35 percent.
"We're going to win big here today," Clinton's campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe predicted as Puerto Ricans cast ballots in a race with 55 delegates at stake.
Obama's aides countered that even so, the 46-year-old Illinois senator would amass the 2,118 delegates needed to claim the nomination within days. "We hope this week, absolutely," said spokesman Robert Gibbs. Montana and South Dakota hold primaries on Tuesday, the last of the primary campaign season.
Gibbs' confidence reflected the outcome of Saturday's meeting of the Democratic Party's rules and bylaws committee. Before an audience that jeered and cheered by turns, the panel voted to seat disputed delegations from Michigan and Florida, but give each delegate only one-half vote rather than the full vote sought by the Clinton campaign.
