Hillary Clinton Overtakes Obama in Texas
As voters go to the polls this morning in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont, on the Democratic side it looks like Hillary Clinton is making quite a comeback against Barack Obama. Given up for dead by the media last week, Clinton is closing the gap in both states, and in this morning's Zogby tracking poll, she has taken a three point lead in Texas over Obama, and is now even with him in Ohio. If she wins these two states, look for a long, bitter, bloody fight for the nomination all the way to the convention!
The telephone surveys show Clinton had a second consecutive good day, and now leads Obama 47% to 44% in Texas. The two are tied at 44% in Ohio. It is notable that 7% in Texas and 8% in Ohio said they were yet unsure about who to support in the Democratic Party race, even at this late moment. The surveys also show support is somewhat soft in the race, and could still shift in the waning hours.
The historic race between the first woman and first African American with serious chances to win a major party presidential race has been contentious in both Texas and Ohio, as the two are still battling to gain supremacy in the race for party delegates.
