If the Obama campaign is looking for a signal that things are going their way, here is a strong signal: On our first two nights of polling, half the voters who cast ballots early told us they voted for Clinton, and half for Obama.

On the third night, our cumulative total shifted Obama’s way, 53 to 47 percent.

On the fourth night, things shifted so much that our exclusive 11 News Belo Texas poll now shows the early vote is running 63 to 37 percent, in Obama’s favor.



Our pollster, David Iannelli of Austin-based Public Strategies, Inc., warns that one cannot use this data as an “exit poll,” or a hard-and-fast indication of what the early vote total will eventually look like. “It’s a small number of people” in the overall sample, he said, “but it gives us an indication of what we've seen in other states for Barack Obama, and that is his ability to mobilize his voters.”

In our tracking poll, Clinton and Obama remain locked in a statistical tie for the March 4 primary. Results released Thursday night indicate Obama has the support of 46 percent of likely Democratic voters, and Clinton has 45. The margin of error in our poll is plus or minus 3.6 percent.

In addition, Obama is strengthening his already formidable support among African Americans. Since we began reporting poll totals on Tuesday, Obama’s support among African Americans has increased 7 points, and Clinton’s has decreased by 5 points.


Clinton’s support among Hispanics remains unchanged from our first night of reporting, holding at 61 percent. Obama’s support among Hispanics has increased slightly, from 29 percent to 32 percent, but this is within the margin of error.

8. Obama is doing really well in the Big Cities.

I think he wins TX by 7. Looks like he's getting the undecided vote to go for him.

10. We know we have our

marine from DU voting for Obama in Dallas who said he has 110 marines out volunteering.

I won't be at ease until this is over.

11. The Cross tabs show him dominating in Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.

Hes up 11 in Houston, and the rest of the state is Hillaryland.

15. Is that good or bad for Obama? n/t

[MadBadger]

16. I cant see it as a bad thing. Plus with the delegate rules, I think him dominating in cities helps.
