In the primaries that have taken place to date, Clinton has won the Anglo and Hispanic vote, while Barack Obama has won the African American vote by large margins. When it comes to the racial/ethnic groups in Texas, Obama is doing better with African Americans than Clinton is doing with Hispanics and, conversely, he is having more success cutting into her support with Hispanics than she is in cutting into his support among African Americans. This has been a consistent pattern throughout the primaries, but it is critically important in Texas given the battle for delegates by State Senate district and the margins a candidate must achieve in order to win the majority of delegates in those districts.At 61%, Hillary Clinton’s support among Hispanics is unchanged from our first night of reporting, while Barack Obama’s support among Hispanics has increased slightly from 29% to 32%.
Among African Americans, Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton 79%-12%, which represents a 12-point swing from our first night’s report (72%-17%); a 7-point increase for Obama since the first night of polling and a 5-point decline for Clinton.
