Texas poll: Huckabee close to McCain, Obama now ahead of Clinton
ARG: February 15, 2008 – Texas Primary Preferences
Republicans TX:
-Huckabee 36%
-McCain 42%
-Paul 11%
-Someone else 2%
-Undecided 9%
Democrats TX:
-Clinton 42%
-Obama 48%
-Someone else 3%
-Undecided 7%
Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama among self-described Democrats 47% to 42%. Obama leads Clinton among self-described independents and Republicans 24% to 71%. Obama leads among men 55% to 29% (47% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads among women 54% to 42%. Clinton leads Obama among white voters 51% to 40% (53% of likely Democratic primary voters), Obama leads Clinton among African American voters 76% to 17% (22% of likely Democratic primary voters), and Clinton leads Obama among Latino voters 44% to 42%.
Today, the situation is reversed. Obama leads nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll and can wrap up the nomination with victories in the key states of Ohio and Texas. Clinton needs to win those states to keep her campaign alive. Yesterday, Rasmussen Reports released polling data showing Clinton with a double-digit lead in Ohio and the latest Rasmussen Reports polling in Texas also shows the former First Lady on top in the Lone Star State. Clinton attracts 54% of the vote in Texas while Obama earns 38% with nearly three weeks to go until Election Day.
If Clinton is able to win in both Texas and Ohio, the race for delegates will be just about even and there will be new talking points for the Superdelegates to consider before reaching a decision.

This should be a very interesting primary season for a long time to come.

The more victories before Texas and Ohio, the better the chances of moving the poll numbers in Texas and Ohio.
Still going to be a battle right up to the vote, it appears. Both were in Ohio promising things they can’t deliver.
These Texas “Primary preferences” (whatever the F that is) I’ll practically guarantee they’ve been compromised by low life scums somewhere along the line. Ron Paul should clearly be a lot higher. (The man is FROM Texas—HELLOOOOO)
McCain does not have this election locked up as the GOP would have you believe: http://www.onthewriteside.org/2008/02/does-mccain-really-have-gop-nomination.html
