CHICAGO -- Hillary Clinton has a commanding lead over Bernie Sanders among likely voters in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Illinois.

The former secretary of state would get 66.3 percent of the Democratic presidential vote compared to 33.7 percent for the Vermont senator, according to Ogden & Fry's latest poll, taken Sunday.

The poll has a 4 percent margin of error. It asked 602 random people who are considered likely to vote in the 2016 Democratic primary. Those asked were from a group that voted in at least one of the last three Democratic primaries ... and didn't pull a GOP ballot.

Here's Ogden & Fry's analysis:

"Hillary Clinton has a 32-point lead over Bernie Sanders. This poll did not include undecided as an option. The undecideds (around 10%) are breaking just above 50% for Sanders. Online polls have produced results that claim Sanders has narrowed the gap or taken the lead. Polls using randomized sampling of likely voters are consistently showing Clinton with a significant lead."
