McCain Positioned to Defeat Huckabee in Texas GOP Primary: On the eve of the Texas Republican Primary, John McCain is well positioned to defeat Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul, according to SurveyUSA's final pre-primary poll conducted for KTRK-TV Houston, KTVT-TV Dallas and KRLD-AM radio Dallas. Huckabee has rebounded among his key constituencies compared to one week ago, but still cannot draw near to McCain. At the wire, it's McCain 53%, Huckabee 36%, Ron Paul 5%. Interest in the contest is low. In a state with roughly equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats, almost 3 times as many Democrats have voted early as Republicans, according to SurveyUSA data. Democratic turnout will be almost twice Republican turnout, according to SurveyUSA interviews.
