In the Democratic Primary, it's Clinton 61%, Sanders 32%. Sanders is backed by 58% of the youngest voters, but Clinton is backed by 70% of middle-aged voters and 82% of seniors. Clinton leads Sanders 4:1 among black voters and Clinton leads Sanders by 40 points among Hispanic voters. Sanders draws near to Clinton, but still trails, among Democratic primary voters who say
they are "falling behind" financially. But Clinton overpowers among voters who say they are "doing well" financially or "just getting by." Of those Democratic primary voters who voted for Clinton in2008, 86% stick with her in 2016. Among Democratic primary voters who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton leads Sanders 58% to 33%. Clinton polls at or above 60% in North TX, East TX,
Central TX and South TX. Sanders comes close to Clinton in West TX, but still trails her there 48% to 42%.

(5,477 posts)If Hillary wins Texas by 30, she'll gain over 50 delegates from that state alone. There is probably some blowback from the Huerta incident. The irony that Sanders' supporters doomed his campaign with over-zealousness.
