Polls show Obama, McCain in dead heat in Arizona
By Paul Giblin
Tribune
http://www.eastvalleytribune.c...
Presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama are running in a statistical dead heat in Arizona, according to two surveys released Monday, a troubling development for the home-state senator.
And a third survey scheduled for release today will offer a similar assessment.
With just a week to go before Election Day, and weeks after early voting began, Arizona is too close to call, according to research directors who oversaw the surveys.
This is how the numbers stacked up:

Hillary has had Texas all to herself for the last week while Barack has been in Wisconsin preparing for today's primary. Given this head start, you would think that Hillary's Texas poll numbers would have gotten a bump since she's dominated the local headlines.
But ironically enough, it appears that the more Texans see of Hillary, the more Barack's numbers rise.
Just a couple of months ago, Hillary had a 30 point lead in Texas. But the latest polls show Barack is closing the gap...all while Barack has been campaiging in other states. Now that he's arriving in Texas today for rallies in San Antonio and Houston, we expect our momentum to continue as more people get to know Barack.
Hillary is still the favorite to win Texas because of her long-standing ties with our establishment politicans. The Clintons have called Texas their must-win "firewall", and we don't doubt that they'll use every trick in the book. But Barack has widespread grassroots support across the state and he's bringing new people into the process at record levels, so we will at least make this race interesting. And even if Hillary wins Texas, we'll still earn a bunch of delegates because our field operation is one of the strongest and most organized operations Texas has ever seen.
Here are the latest Texas polls...
SurveyUSA Poll
Obama - 50%
Clinton - 45%
CNN Opinion Research Poll
Clinton - 50%
Obama - 48%
Please help us pull off the big upset in the Lone Star State by volunteering to become an Obama precinct captain. Yes we can!

A couple of months ago, Hillary was leading Barack by 30 points in Texas. These lastest polls show that we're closing the gap. After Barack does a few more big rallies and tours the state to meet Texas voters face-to-face, we expect to close the gap even further.
These polls are all over the map, and since Texas hasn't had a contested presidential primary in a long time, it's hard to determine who is a likely Democratic primary voter.
From the Burnt Orange Report:
Texas Credit Union League Poll
Clinton - 49%
Obama - 41%
Rasmussen Poll
Clinton - 54%
Obama - 38%
American Research Group Poll
Obama - 48%
Clinton - 42%
Even if Clinton still has a 5-10 point lead going into our March 4 primary, we're confident that our powerful grassroots operation will put Obama over the top. We've got an extremely talented field staff now in Texas, and the Clinton machine simply doesn't have the resources to match our field efforts.

The Republicans seem to have have settled on their nominee, John McCain. Therefore, it's important to analyze how our Democratic candidates stack up against McCain. According to the latest Time poll, it looks like Obama gives us the best chance to win the White House.
Obama - 48%
McCain - 41%
Clinton - 46%
McCain - 46%

The once "inevitable" Hillary Clinton doesn't seem so inevitable anymore. Obama's got the momentum, and he's catching up to Clinton in all these Super Tuesday polls. It's safe to say that this nomination won't be decided tomorrow, and this primary will come home to Texas on March 4!

National Super Tuesday poll shows dramatic Democratic shift
CNN
 Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton is losing ground to Sen. Barack Obama in a national CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released on the eve of critical Super Tuesday presidential primaries and caucuses.
The two are virtually tied in Monday's survey, which shows the New York senator has lost a comfortable national lead she's held for months over Obama and other rivals.
Obama, who trounced Clinton in January's South Carolina primary, garnered 49 percent of registered Democrats in Monday's poll, while Clinton trailed by just three points, a gap well within the survey's 4.5 percentage point margin of error.
"Coming out of his overwhelming victory in South Carolina and followed quickly by his Kennedy family endorsements, Obama clearly has the momentum in this campaign," said Bill Schneider, CNN's senior political analyst.

Direct from Chris Bowers over at the ever erudite OpenLeft.com, quoting from a Gallup.com poll:
Barack Obama has now cut the gap with Hillary Clinton to 6 percentage points among Democrats nationally in the Gallup Poll Daily tracking three-day average, and interviewing conducted Tuesday night shows the gap between the two candidates is within a few points. Obama's position has been strengthening on a day-by-day basis. As recently as Jan. 18-20, Clinton led Obama by 20 points. Today's Gallup Poll Daily tracking is based on interviews conducted Jan. 27-29, all after Obama's overwhelming victory in South Carolina on Saturday. Two out of the three nights interviewing were conducted after the high-visibility endorsement of Obama by Sen. Edward Kennedy and his niece Caroline Kennedy.
Read the whole thing, and while it is too early to know what happens to Edwards folks, the mo' momentum the better!

Poll: Obama makes big gains among black voters
CNN
 Sen. Hillary Clinton has lost a large amount of support among African-Americans, with a majority of black Democrats now supporting Sen. Barack Obama, according to a new poll out Friday.
In a national survey by CNN/Opinion Research Corp., 59 percent of black Democrats backed Obama, an Illinois Democrat, for their party's presidential nomination, with 31 percent supporting Clinton, the senator from New York.
The 28 point lead for Obama is a major reversal from October, when Clinton held a 24 point lead among black Democrats.
"There's been a huge shift among African-American Democrats from Clinton to Obama. African-American Democrats used to be reluctant to support Obama because they didn't think a black man could be elected. Then Obama won Iowa and nearly won New Hampshire. Now they believe," said Bill Schneider, CNN senior political analyst.

Obama's Surging Black Support May Tilt South Carolina Primary
Bloomberg News
South Carolina illustrates a broader shift in states with large concentrations of black Democrats. On Feb. 5, several states with big black populations, including Georgia and Alabama, where more than 40 percent of Democratic primary voters are black, hold nominating contests.
Obama's triumph in the Iowa caucuses was a catalyst for the change in sentiment, political analysts say, because it demonstrated he can garner white support and compete in the general election.
``Now I'm voting my heart, with Obama,'' said Cheryl Ewing, a 47-year-old program manager from Philadelphia. Only six weeks ago at a focus group conducted by pollster Peter Hart, Ewing, who is black, said she was in Clinton camp's because America wouldn't vote for a black president. ``Iowa made me change my mind.''
National and state polls show a dramatic reversal in support among African-Americans in recent months. Obama now leads Clinton among blacks nationwide, 57 percent to 32 percent, according to a Jan. 10-13 USA Today/Gallup poll. Less than two months ago, Clinton was ahead in the same survey 56 percent to 33 percent.

Needless to say, Hillary Clinton is no longer "inevitable".
Obama, Clinton tied in 2008 Democratic race
Reuters
Barack Obama has erased a once substantial deficit to climb into a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
...
Clinton, a former first lady who would be the first woman U.S. president, held a 21-point edge over Obama in October. He cut that to 8 points by last month, and the new survey gave her a 39 percent to 38 percent edge.
Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, and Clinton were essentially deadlocked among a variety of groups, including men, women, Democrats and independents. Obama led substantially, 65 percent to 15 percent, among black voters.

The momentum continues...
McCain Moves Into Lead; Obama Gains on Clinton
Washington Post
The first contests of the 2008 presidential campaign have led to a dramatic shake-up in public opinion nationally, with Sen. John McCain now leading the Republican field and Sen. Barack Obama all but erasing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's once-overwhelming advantage among Democrats, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Clinton had dominated in national polls from the outset, holding a 30-point advantage as recently as a month ago, but the competitiveness of the first two contests appears to have reverberated among Democrats across the country.
In the new poll, 42 percent of likely Democratic voters support Clinton (N.Y.), and 37 percent back Obama (Ill.). Clinton's support is down 11 percentage points from a month ago, with Obama's up 14. Former senator John Edwards (N.C.) held third place with 11 percent, followed by Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (Ohio) at 2 percent.

We've got the momentumg going into New Hampshire (see chart below). Barack is also gaining in South Carolina and the national polls.
The national media had crowned Hillary as "inevitable", but thanks to the hard work of volunteers all over the country, Barack shocked the world and doubled Iowa caucus turnout. The New Hampshire polls are looking good, and thanks to all our Texas volunteers who are walking in the snow today to help make history!
If you can't make it to New Hampshire, then join us at one of our Texas Meetups tonight to watch the election results.
