Texas Primary Poll: Clinton 56% Sanders 40%

[book_worm]

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.

1. This is encouraging news for Sanders!

Guess it just depends who comes out to vote. Reminds of Fox News always touting their #1 cable news status. Yeah, but who's watching?

[hoosierlib]

2. That 30+ point lead is down to 16...and shrinking by the day...

Bernie will still lose by 10...but it won't be a run away...

[book_worm]

3. But where is he going to win that is a big state?

Michigan, Illinois, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida all show double digit leads for Hillary, some by over 20 points. Plus in the south--SC, GA, Alabama, TN...big leads for Clinton.

I know...he's going to win big in Maine & Vermont and has a chance at Massachusetts, Minnesota and Colorado. At some point Bernie needs to demonstrate he can win a big industrial state and a state that has a big minority population.

4. California? nt

5. if the national trend is anything like the cali trend, get ready for an eclipse!

[book_worm]

8. So he wins one big state

and I agree of the big states California is his best shot. But winning California while losing IL, MI, OH, PA, NY, NJ, TX, FL? Is that enough.

[hoosierlib]

10. Agreed...given he is performing better with latinos

CA (06/07) NY (04/19) and PA (04/26) are his best bets...IL, OH, FL and TX are too close (all in March)...HRC wins this by reputation and name recognition alone...

12. At some point Bernie needs to demonstrate he can win a big industrial state...

..and a state that has a big minority population.


Yeah....that ain't happening ever it looks like.

[hoosierlib]

18. Define "big" as it is very a subjective term...

[firebrand80]

16. True, but he can't "moral victory" his way to the nomination. nt

[hoosierlib]

19. You are absolutely correct...

I'm curious to know his campaign's strategy after Super Tuesday...need some big wins...

[NurseJackie]

6. It's gonna be a blowout! Just like 2008 ... uh, no, wait ...

[floppyboo]

11. yup. I agree. A blowout of Titantic proportions. Trump iceberg is coming

and choose your lifeboat wisely.

7. Not possible. Gothmog told me Bernie couldn't break 15% in Texas

[workinclasszero]

9. 56% to 40%

Go Hillary!!

[DCBob]

13. Good numbers for Hillary!

Should be a big delegate gain!

14. America is remembering why they like Hillary

[Vinca]

21. Uh huh. I imagine she'd have a huuuuuuuuge win there in the general.

[HillDawg]

15. If those exact numbers held

That's a 35 point advantage from one state. That's double what Sanders would get if Hillary doesn't get one vote from Vermont. That's a big deal, and not the only state she has a big lead in where the delegates are a high number.

17. K&R

20. Looks like a tie to me.
