That lead is surprisingly low to me.

Ted Cruz does unsurprisingly very well, however it's quite surprising to see Rick Perry (considering his rather strong approval rating in Texas at the moment) and Marco Rubio (considering 38% of Texas' population are latinos) together don't poll more than a bland 14%.

The post has a typo, it's 10% for Huckabee.

Why would the high proportion of Mexican Americans in Texas (very very few of whom ever vote in GOP primaries) mean a strong result for Cuban-American Rubio?  Especially when their own homestate Senator, who's leading this poll, is also Cuban-American?

I'm reasoning that it would be more natural as Rubio is a fairly common latino, Republican or not, while Cruz is simply just lunatic. Tongue I think most latinos could easily relate to Rubio, yet would feel pretty alienated by Cruz. Cruz is more white than almost any white out there, there's no more latino spirit left in his DNA. At least that's how he comes across.

Well, for the record, in the general election portion of this same poll, Cruz gets 41% of the Hispanic vote in his matchup with Clinton.  That's more than, say, either Bush or Christie get in their respective matchups.
