Closing the gap in Texas
Posted by: Chris
The polls are all over the place but they do suggest that Barack Obama is already succeeding in closing the gap on Hillary Clinton in the crucial battleground of Texas, as he has done in so many other states.
Among the surveys:
- Rasmussen: Clinton 53, Obama 38
- Insider Advantage: Clinton 48, Obama 41
- Texas Credit Union: Clinton 49, Obama 41
- American Research Group: Obama 48, Clinton 42
Andrew Sullivan notes another surprising data point from the ARG poll: Clinton only leads Obama by 2 percentage points among Latinos.
Considering the unique Texas primary-caucus delegate system is weighted in favor of African American districts -- because they voted in greater numbers than Latino districts in the last congressional elections -- Obama's position looks very strong.
