New poll shows Obama ahead in Texas and Ohio (democratic, polls, president)

[gsoboi]

according to usaelection polls, Obama is ahead of Hillary in her "must win" states of Texas and Ohio

Texas
OBAMA - 57%
Clinton - 43%

Ohio
OBAMA - 54%
Clinton - 46%

It looks like Obama is two states away from wrapping up the democratic nomination because if primary results end like these polls its all over for Hillary.

I saw that over the weekend. However, this poll still has Clinton up by 11% in Ohio. The poll I cite was just released this morning and is much more respected. That said, it does show Obama gaining as he has cut her lead in half, in their poll, since mid February.

I'm not so sure I'd rely on "usaelections polls". The polling data that seems to be most accurate--SurveyUSA.com, Rasmussen--have Clinton ahead by a couple of points.

But it in the end, it's still a win for Obama because he's going to get enough delegates from both states that Clinton has no chance of catching up.

I agree. Hillary has to win by BIG margins. Also dont forget about the remaing states after Pennsylvania. The next biggest delagate state after PA is North Carolina and current polls show Obama is leading there, thanks to the big universities like Duke/UNC and the growing "upscale demographics" in areas like Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte. Hillary's behavior shows that she is really desperate and not a level headed person. I dont want anyone like that running our country.

The polls, like so many in previous primary contests, showed Hillary with a shrinking lead. The results have been very consistent: Obama has been winning by margins larger than the polls would indicate. I'll go on record right now to say that Obama will win Texas. It's clear that his momentum is building while Hillary's is waning.

Every time I see Hillary on CNN, she seems to be a little crazier each time. I think the idea of losing and not being president is causing her to start losing her mind.

[Art123]

Hey JR,

You may want to look at the date of that poll.

There's a bit of a trend in the Democratic primaries. As each one has come into the spotlight, Hillary starts off ahead (probably because of name recognition), then as the date approaches the lead dwindles and Obama ends up winning - 11 straight.

[gsoboi]

I agree Art123...this has been a consistant pattern every since South Carolina.
