New KTVT Texas primary poll released!!

[George II]

Clinton 59
Sanders 10
O'Malley 3

[Iliyah]

1. K & R

[RandySF]

2. All over in TX

And a lot of delegates.

[George II]

8. And a huge percentage of those delegates, too...

...in Texas delegates are assigned based on % of the vote and also based on districts won.

If I interpret their rules correctly, there are 252 delegates - 145 on the state-wide election and 107 spread out over the Senatorial districts in the state.

At this rate, Clinton would win about 85 delegates and Sanders about 9 and O'Malley about 5. BUT, neither Sanders nor O'Malley would get any of the 107 up for grabs in the districts because neither would get the required 15% of the vote. I think Clinton would get all of those 107 votes since she would be the only "qualifying" candidate.

Many other states have similar allocations of delegates, there are no longer any "winner take all" primaries for Democrats (republicans still have a few)

3. That's not any sort of surprise.

Hillary Clinton will win in Texas going away. That's a given. When you take a look at the Super Tuesday states, like Texas, it's difficult to see how Sanders will get much traction in those states. And delegate counts are high in some of those states, too, with Texas leading the way.

4. Hillary is going to go through the south like William Tecumseh Sherman.

eom

13. Yes sir

[NCTraveler]

5. I thought Sanders was pulling a lot of conservative support.

I am assuming this poll didn't question republicans. This seems to be a state Sanders would walk away with under the current narrative being pushed.

[RandySF]

6. I don't think Republicans can participate.

7. Seems to be bad news for the Sanders campaign under the current meme being trotted out. nt.

[RandySF]

9. If he needs Republicans

The only way he gets Repuclicans is if there is a concerted effort to throw the Denocraric primary. If that happened, and Sander's won, he would be reviled in the party. But the GOP have their own nomination to sort out as well.

10. Very consistant with Iowa 2 polls and NC poll from yesterday. Congrats to Hillary

[workinclasszero]

12. Go Texas Dems!

Hillary is turning Texas blue!

[MohRokTah]

14. I hope Hillary has a massive voter registration movement going.

Working the Hispanic and Latino communities for voter registration will be a huge move towards eventually turning Texas blue, and this could be a key year for the Democrats to start this movement.

[George II]

15. Historically that has been a huge part of her grassroots campaign - she doesn't just give speeches.

[MohRokTah]

16. She definitely walks the walk...

and she knows the value of ground games in ALL states, too.
