The Democratic Party survey in Ohio included 828 likely voters and carries a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points. The Texas survey of Democrats included 855 likely voters and carries a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points. Both surveys were conducted March 1-3, 2008.

Statistically speaking, that's a dead heat among LIKELY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS. It ignores independents and Republicans who may switch. I wouldn't put much faith in a poll that only contacted Democrats and has a margin of error about the same size as the difference between the two.
If true, that's great. It's a dead heat no matter how you slice it. It all comes down to which candidate does a better job getting their supporters to the polls.
I'm an Obama supporter, but I think this poll is too optimistic. I'm seeing more reliable polls showing a dead heat in Texas, and an 8% to 10% lead in Ohio for Clinton.
But as someone around here once said: "it's all about the delegates, baby."
Hmm interesting...wher did you get your info?
Texas:
Clinton: 47%
Obama: 44%
Ohio:
Tied at 44%
It seems the "trend" is reversing.
UTICA, New York – On the strength of some strong campaigning in Ohio and Texas, Democrat Hillary Clinton of New York has retaken a narrow lead over rival Barack Obama of Illinois in Texas and has dead-locked the race in Ohio, a new Reuters/C-SPAN/Houston Chronicle survey by Zogby International shows.

Well, at least there's no way CNN will be able to call Texas 15 seconds after the polls close, hahahahaha. They're actually going to have to wait until we caucus -- imagine that.

That only makes the case for Obama because he overwhelmingly attracts indepedents and republicans. I will say that Zogby usually is a pretty accurate poll and is not bias like other polls.

Sure, if you ignore the Republicans who are voting for Hillary because they hate her. I don't want you to be surprised when you wake up tomorrow to find out Hillary has won Texas and Ohio and probably Rhode island. I'll be waiting for everyone who claims she's splitting the party to voice their support for a winner.
