Texas poll: Obama gains momentum!

In just the last month, Barack has cut Hillary's lead from 34 points to 10 points in Texas. No doubt, the Texas primary is going to be competitive. And after Barack comes back to Texas later this month, we expect these polls to tighten even more.

IVR Polls:
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%.

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. Edwards was at 5% among Latinos in the January 10 poll, so Obama's gain cannot be completely explained by his departure.

Both candidates gained among white voters with Edwards departure. Obama gained eight points while Clinton gained five. I can't distinguish between former Edwards voters and prior movement, but my best guess would be that it was a combination of the two.
