Obama leads in Texas, tied in Ohio, polls say

[mawilson 2,133]

New polls show Barack Obama with a lead in Texas and virtually tied with Hillary Clinton in Ohio with the two states' primaries on Tuesday possibly deciding the Democratic nomination.

The Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby survey shows Obama with a 48 percent to 42 percent edge in Texas. Another survey in Ohio gives Clinton a 44 percent to 41.5 percent lead, but that edge is within the margin of error. Both surveys were conducted Tuesday through Thursday and have a sampling error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

On the Republican side, where John McCain could mathematically clinch the nomination with strong showings, the polls show that he holds sizable leads in both states over Mike Huckabee. McCain leads 53 percent to 27 percent in Texas and 62 percent to 19 percent in Ohio, according to the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby surveys. The third remaining GOP candidate, Ron Paul, has 11 percent support in Texas and 8 percent in Ohio, the surveys say.

So far, Reuters/Zogby hasn't done too well in predicting races. Survey USA has done much better.

Too close for comfort. If Obama doesn't blow Hillary out of the water, his candidacy ends on Tuesday.
