Hillary is apparently getting a good bounce out of the stunning and amazing South Carolina primary which she won by a 47.5% margin — 73.5% to 26%.

A pair of Emerson polls conducted partly after the SC primary tell the tale, and has the following result:

TEXAS: Hillary 68%, Bernie 26%. LEAD: 42%

same polling firm from Feb. 24: Hillary 56%, Bernie 40%, 16% lead

MASSACHUSETTS: Hillary 54%, Bernie 43%. LEAD: 11%

same polling firm from Feb. 23: Hillary 46%, Bernie 46%. TIE

Here is the poll article: CLINTON PULLS AWAY FROM SANDERS

TEXAS

In the Lone Star State’s Democratic primary, Clinton has dramatically extended her lead over Bernie Sanders. On February 24, Clinton held a 14-point advantage, 56% to 40% but now leads by 40-plus points, 68% to 26%. Sanders’s 63-point edge (81% to 18%) with voters 18-34 plummeted to just 22 points (59% to 37%), and Clinton is crushing him by margins of 49% or more in all other age categories. Support from men is way up; they now favor her 67% to 25% over Sanders, while women give her the nod, 68% to 27%. As was the case in South Carolina last Saturday, Clinton receives overwhelming support from African Americans, 82% to Sanders’s 15% and data suggests that Hispanic/Latino voters were breaking for Clinton by a wide margin, 71% to 16%, among those surveyed.

4. Every percentage point difference in Texas is worth 2 delegates...

A 40 point lead by Hillary, and she gains 80ish delegates.

5. honestly those numbers are likely too good to be true

I can see some gain from the huge win in SC but not that big of a gain. Time will tell, but this appears to be an outlier.
