TX Pres Primary Poll 1/30-31 ...... Clinton 48% Obama 38%

[RedEarth]

November and December polls both gave Hillary Clinton a hefty 51% to 17% lead over Barack Obama, but that has changed considerably over the last two polls. Current results give her just a ten point lead over her main rival, 48% to 38%. Mike Gravel received 3% while 12% were undecided. Much of Obama's increase has come from his increase in support among Latinos. In December, Clinton had a 70 to 7 lead in this group. The January 10 poll was 63-18. In this poll, the margin was down to 60-29. That is still a wide margin, but 2-1 is a lot different from 10-1. Edwards was at 5% among Latinos in the January 10 poll, so Obama's gain cannot be completely explained by his departure. There is a significant gender gap as Latino men under 60 were more likely to support Obama while Latinas under 60 gave Clinton large margins. Clinton easily led both sides of the 60+ group.

1. My prediction:

Gravel will not even get that 3%.

[NoPasaran]

4. Pretty safe bet

He's not on the ballot here.

2. If Hillary wins Texas...

...I will NOT be complaining "So what? She just won another red state!" I promise you.

6. It only matters when Barack wins red states you know. nt

[Bicoastal]

9. It matters when they win a US State, period.

And so far, Barack has won more.

3. The More Obama Whittles Away That Lead...

The closer we are to a Democratic President again. I believe Hillary can't win the GE.

[aquarius dawning]

8. I absolutely believe the same thing

about Obama. He's the biggest liberal in the Senate. Republicans are going to come out of the woodwork to vote this guy down based on that alone. Never mind the other factors working on their minds.

12. Funny

Last time around Kerry was "the most liberal candidate" in the Senate. Who is saying this? The RW rag that gave the honors to Kerry?

18. I'm sure that will convince the Republicans that he's not really the biggest liberal in the Senate

And if it doesn't, the Kennedy and Kerry endorsements will surely lay any lingering doubts to rest. LOL

16. Obama is 2 points away from ending it.

40% is all he needs and she's done.

[quantass]

5. Who's Gravel? ... didn't know there was another candidate

The poor guy should stop wasting his money cuz wow, seriously, i have never heard of him before.

[fenriswolf]

7. look him up

He is way better then Obama and Hillary but of course the media gives him no play just like kucinich and edwards.

[Bicoastal]

10. Way better 30 years ago, MAYBE.

This isn't meant to be ageist in the least--I simply wouldn't vote for someone who has been retired from politics longer than my own lifetime.

11. As an Obama supporter, that looks good to me.

We've got several weeks to campaign, and we've got the money and the momentum.

[Occam Bandage]

13. Wow. He's charging in.

[FrenchieCat]

14. How long do we have, Three Weeks?

I think that "YES WE CAN" do this! :thumbsup:

[Occam Bandage]

15. Plenty of time to pick up even more momentum.

[joshcryer]

17. I told you people but you keep dismissing me.
