Texas Poll: 56-40 lead for HRC!

In the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton holds a solid lead, 56% to 40%, over Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders. It appears the former Secretary of State is well positioned to notch
a decisive win in the delegate-rich Lone Star State, which ranks third−behind California and
New York−in the number of delegates up for grabs (252).

Clinton does well with women, who prefer her 62% to 36% over Sanders, and she holds her
own with men, who favor her 48% to 46%. Although Sanders has a massive lead, 81% to
18%, among voters ages 18-34, Clinton dominates in the other age categories, holding a
73-point advantage among voters 55-74 and a 76-point edge with those 75 and over.

A big win in a big state would make the math nearly impossible for Sanders to overcome. The fact that he's not really even campaigning in Texas, means he's throwing in the towel. Hillary should focus her resources there and put this thing away.
