46. Exactly. This poll doesn't even include Talarico

Another thing to note is that I don't think we've seen ANY polling that's taken place since the Colbert interview went viral. Talarico has a lot of momentum right now. Crockett seems to have a lot of support from non-Texans. All the actual Texans I talk to are voting for or have already voted for Talarico.
