Date: 2/23-24
Texas
Added: 2/27/08
Est. MoE = 4.7%
Hillary Clinton 48%
Barack Obama 48%
Unsure 4%

Quote:

Whites: Obama 51%, Clinton 44%. Blacks: Obama 73%, Clinton 27%. Hispanics: Clinton 68%, Obama 27%.

“With major disparities between Obama and Clinton’s support along racial lines in Texas, this contest is likely to be decided by what groups turn out the most,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Clinton is not going to win without significant Hispanic turnout, and Obama is going to have a hard time if African Americans don’t turn out in large numbers.”

Clinton leads among Democrats 52-44, but Obama is doing very well with Republicans (76-20) and independents (51-40) who plan to vote in the Democratic primary
