Latest Polling showing more gains for Obama

Recently released polling data by the The Houston Chronicle is stating that in Texas Obama has opened a 48 to 42 percent lead.

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama appears to be
consolidating a lead over Hillary Rodham Clinton among most constituent groups in Texas except Hispanics, according to a new tracking poll.
The survey found Obama leading 48.2 percent to 41.7 percent over Clinton statewide.

The poll, conducted Tuesday through Thursday for the Houston Chronicle, Reuters and C-SPAN by Zogby International, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

...today he trails Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent in Ohio -- well within the poll's margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

The poll, conducted by Zogby International, found McCain with big double-digit margins over Huckabee in Texas and Ohio. Among Democrats, Obama has a big edge with voters in both states who made their decision within the last month. Clinton led comfortably in both states among voters who decided more than a month ago...

...Other opinion polls show tightening races in both states, where Clinton enjoyed big leads just a few weeks ago. "All the momentum is clearly with Obama," pollster John Zogby said. "The clearest indicator is the line of demarcation between those who decided early and those who are deciding late. The question is whether she can stem the tide." In Ohio, 9 percent of Democrats said they were still uncertain of their vote. In Texas, 7 percent of Democrats were not yet sure, leaving plenty of room for late swings...

...The rolling poll was conducted Tuesday through Thursday, with most of the survey coming after Tuesday night's combative debate in Ohio between the two
Democrats...

MSNBC's reporter stated this morning that there is this real buzz running through the Obama camp much like the buzz and anticipation that was felt in Iowa way back in the first week of January.
