Yet Another Texas Poll (Monmouth) HRC: 64% Bernie: 30%

Democratic primary --
Hillary Clinton currently holds a substantial 64% to 30% lead over Bernie Sanders in the Texas
Democratic primary. In 2008, Clinton narrowly beat Barack Obama in this state by a 51% to 47% margin.
Clinton currently enjoys solid leads among black (81% to 8%) and Latino (68% to 32%) voters,
and also has an edge among white voters (54% to 40%). She has a sizable lead among women (75% to
19%) and a small lead among men (50% to 45%). She leads among voters age 50 and over (75% to 20%)
and also leads among those under the age of 50 (52% to 42%) – a group that Sanders has done well with
in past primaries. One factor that boosts Clinton’s support with all these groups is that nearly 6-in-10
likely Democratic voters in Texas describe themselves as politically moderate or conservative rather than
liberal. Sanders tends to do better among liberals.
“Texas was good to Hillary Clinton eight years ago and she looks set to do even better this time
around,” said Murray.
More than 3-in-4 Lone Star Democrats say that Clinton would do either an excellent (32%) or
good (45%) job addressing the most important concerns of families like theirs. This compares to just
over half who say the same about Sanders (22% excellent and 33% good).

That's a great General Election number, too!

The Republicans are doomed!

as polls accrue, am I detecting a slow but steady loss of Sanders' momentum across the nation?

I could be wrong, but it seems that the numbers are slowly drifting in Clinton's direction.
