Reuters/Zogby Poll: Obama Has Momentum in Texas, Ohio
A new shows Sen. Barack Obama building a lead in Texas but is still just behind Sen. Hillary Clinton in Ohio.
In Texas, Obama has built a six-point lead over Clinton, 48% to 42%, "largely on the strength of support from what has come to be his base – younger voters and men. Evidence of his persuasive powers comes from the fact that most of those who have most recently decided for whom to support, while Clinton won more support from early deciders."
In Ohio, Clinton holds a slim lead that has diminished steadily in past weeks, 44% to 42%. "Her strength stems from the same demographic groups that carried her to victories earlier in the campaign, but the trend appears to favor Obama, as late deciders are more likely to support him over her, the survey shows, and 9% of Ohio Democrats say they have yet to make up their minds."
