Poll: Hillary Up 8 Points In Texas Primary
By Eric Kleefeld - February 15, 2008, 8:40AM

A new poll of Texas shows Hillary Clinton with a lead over Barack Obama, but not a huge one in a state that has become part of her new firewall strategy along with Ohio, and where she'd need a big win in order to make the race for pledged delegates truly competitive again.

The IVR poll gives Hillary 49% to Obama's 41%. As in many other primary states, Hillary leads with women, Latinos and older voters, while Obama wins with men, African-Americans and younger voters. In short, neither candidate has really eaten into the other's base here, and this looks like it's going to be a close race.
