BREAKDOWN: Here’s how Texans voted in the presidential primary based on race, sex, education

The Associated Press surveyed voters in eight of the 14 states holding Democratic presidential primaries on Tuesday. Here are some Texas numbers based on those surveys:

  • More women voted than men
  • The age group that turned out most at the polls was 45-64
  • 45% percent of voters were white
  • 58% of voters reported not having a college degree
  • 53% of voters identified as moderate
  • 70% of voters deemed the country’s economic system unfair

Super Tuesday has been a fixture in United States politics since 1984. After tonight we could have a better picture of where things stand as far as the presidential race goes. Even though the states and territories that vote on Super Tuesday changes year to year, it’s a primary day that’s always considered a big deal. That’s because it is the single day where the most states hold elections to pick a presidential nominee.

On the Democratic side

This year 1,357 pledged delegates out of 3,979 are up for grabs today. To secure the nomination, a candidate must win 1,991.

On the Republican side

President Donald Trump is not facing serious competition in his reelection campaign.
