Cruz Clings To Narrow Lead In Texas (Trump now within margin for error)

Source: Emerson College Polling-2 hours ago

Boston, MA – In two tracking polls released by Emerson College on the eve of Super Tuesday, Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton are leading in the Texas presidential primary for their respective parties, while Clinton and Donald Trump are poised for convincing wins in the Massachusetts primary race.

Home Field Advantage Goes to Cruz

In his home state of Texas, Cruz has carved out a narrow lead over Trump, 35% to 32%. Cruz is up 6 points and Trump is up 4 points since initial poll results were reported five days ago. Their gains come largely at the expense of Marco Rubio, whose support fell from 25% to 16% in the same time period. Ohio’s John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are holding steady at 9% and 4%, respectively.

Clinton Pulls Away in the Bay State

In Massachusetts, a State where Bernie Sanders is hoping for a much-needed Super Tuesday win, Clinton has broken a 46-all tie that existed just a week ago and built an 11-point lead, 54% to 43%. She continues to enjoy a large advantage with women (60% to 38%), voters age 55 and up, and those who say the economy is their top concern (57% to 38%).

I like Texans. I lived there for a couple of years just out of college, and I'll never understand why people who struggle as much as the average Texan does votes for people who consider snob appeal as a great campaign strategy.

Unless, of course, racist hatred is taken into account. Sad.

If Cruz loses he most likely will drop out. That would change the dynamics of the race (it might help or it might hurt). As it stands now Trump is on his way to the nomination. So long as Trump can beat both Rubio and Kasich on March 15th then the race will be over then.
