Texas Poll: HRC up by 10 huge lead with latinos and African-Americans

The former secretary of state is leading, with 54 percent, a week before the Texas primary, while Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, has the support of 44 percent of the respondents.

“This race is narrowing, but not narrowing in a way for the lines to actually cross — especially in Texas,” said Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at UT-Austin and the poll’s co-director. Clinton will win, he said, but the question mark, is the state’s Hispanic voters and their relatively low propensity to vote. “This will be a double-digit race, but I don’t think it’s going to be a 20-point race.”

Clinton has a formidable base of black and Hispanic voters, while Sanders is doing better with Anglos. She leads 70 percent to 27 percent among black voters and 60 percent to 37 percent among Hispanic voters. Sanders, meanwhile, has the support of 55 percent of white voters to Clinton’s 44 percent. Clinton’s advantage, the pollsters said, could swell if her campaign can boost the numbers of Hispanics voting in the state.

I think Texas is better than 10, but I'll take it.

1. Hillary's numbers with Blacks and Latinos are looking a lot like President Obama's final totals.

Now, I know polling numbers are rarely if ever accurate, but I'm just making the observation that her high percentages in those polls look a lot like the final numbers President Obama got in 2008 and 2012.

I guess what this tells us is, Minorities do want President Obama's policies to continue.

3. I live in Harris County and we have a large latino population plus we have a large oriental

and middle eastern population, I worked a precinct and found many was excited to vote for Obama, our county went Democratic in 2008 and 2012, I expect the same again in 2016.
