Hillary Clinton

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/29/1493582/-Emerson-Poll-Hillary-opens-up-42-lead-in-Texas-11-lead-in-MassachusettsHillary 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 States 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%. Sanderss 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 Sanderss 15% and data suggests that Hispanic/Latino voters were breaking for Clinton by a wide margin, 71% to 16%, among those surveyed.

(15,951 posts)Frankly I have a feeling Bernie has a chance at MN more than CO. There are more white voters in MN while CO is more diverse. If HRC keeps winning the latino vote 65% or more she should take CO if turnout is good. There have been no recent polls of CO & MN and Bernie's visited them while it's been a while since HRC visited, though she has had surrogates and does have a good organization which is important in caucuses.

(1,968 posts)The drift in MA over the last few days may, hopefully, indicate some weaknesses from the SC blowout starting to show.
Still, tomorrow's not a horse race by any means. She's gonna clean up.

(67,782 posts)....but she already has 4 SDs there.
Oklahoma will be close, but they'll split almost 50/50 in delegates anyway.
The other 9 states look relatively safe.

(1,968 posts)the look on my face is of mild amusement, not fear. With TX, GA, VA, AR, TN, and now MA in her corner, she doesn't need anything else.
The other side....

It's interesting to note that the author didn't do the math right. That's about +50 (off the top of my head), not +70, and a total of 75% of the votes (all 28 of them).

(67,782 posts)...and is worth a total of 13 delegates.

(42,612 posts)OK, I think we're better off just doing a primary vote, but it was a really nice moment in 2008 when the race was still competitive by the time it got to Texas and here in this very red county I went to my voting precinct and found an elementary school gymnasium absolutely packed with people wanting to vote for Clinton or Obama. Good times.

(30,058 posts)Is becoming more respectful. Sanders was riled when Matthews kept him on subject and he was riled with Chuck Todd on MTP when he was held on point. Sometimes it is easier to answer the question.
