Presidential candidates visit Texas, stumping for votes
Texas is the second biggest prize on Super Tuesday, right behind California in the numbers of delegates awarded. The state is drawing several of the Democratic hopefuls in the days leading up to primary election day on March 3.
Bernie Sanders visited last weekend and drew thousands to the University of Houston campus in Southeast Houston. That night, he drew an even larger crowd in Austin.
A Hobby School of Public Affairs survey had Sanders leading the pack among likely voters with 23 percent of the vote.
