WaPo Polls: TX Tied, Clinton Ahead In OH

By Big Tent Democrat

WaPo Polls Ohio and Texas:

TEXAS

Clinton 48
Obama 47

OHIO

Clinton 50
Obama 43

The details on the flip.

The Post-ABC News polls show Clinton with solid support from white women and voters with less education and lower incomes in both Ohio and Texas. She holds a big lead among Hispanics in Texas. Obama has large advantages among independents, African Americans and better-educated voters in both states.

Clinton advisers have expressed optimism about her prospects in the two contests, but the new polls suggest the momentum Obama achieved in his string of victories has turned both into true battlegrounds. Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, said earlier this week that she must win Texas and Ohio to keep her candidacy viable.

It appears that the demographics are holding form, but Clinton's leads may have narrowed. We do not know as WaPo does not provide its expected turnouts.
