Emerson Poll: Hillary opens up 42% lead in Texas, 11% lead in Massachusetts.

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/29/1493582/-Emerson-Poll-Hillary-opens-up-42-lead-in-Texas-11-lead-in-Massachusetts



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.

VT isn't changing and it looks like delegate-rich...er, delegate-tolerable...um...well, the State of Oklahoma might be slipping into Sanders territory.

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.

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.

....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.

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).

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.

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.
