Decision Analyst: Barack Obama Up By Double Digits in Texas, Up 8% in Ohio over Hillary Clinton
February 25, 2008

According to Quantcast internet ratings, USAElectionPolls.com is one of the most visited polling archive site on the internet.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 -- According to Quantcast internet ratings, USAElectionPolls.com is one of the most visited polling archive site on the internet. Much like their competitors, they post the results of the latest election polls but they go a step forward in the way their polls are archived. Polls can be tracked by candidate, state, and month.

March 4th is a critical date for Hillary Clinton if she is to stop the momentum Barack Obama has built up since Super Tuesday but if a Decision Analyst poll is any indication, Obama has built up steady leads in both Texas and Ohio.

The three latest polls out of Texas suggests that there is a dead heat and the latest polls out of Ohio shows that Clinton has about an 8% lead. Decision Analyst differs from the other pollsters archived at USAElectionPolls.com by about 15% in each of the two states. In Texas, it is Obama 57% and Clinton 43%. In Ohio, they have Obama 54% and Clinton 46%.

USAElectionPolls.com has determined that the pollsters have had a history of underestimating Barack Obama's support thus far during the primary season. This phenomenon was still true February 19th when Wisconsin voted. The two latest polls had Obama winning by an average of 11.5 points -- the true margin of victory for Obama was 17 points.

In a report that analyzed Mason Dixon's performances in the polls, it was found that they underestimated Obama's support four times more than the support for Clinton. According to the website, Obama has been successful at getting voters to the polls that generally do not vote and thus are generally excluded from traditional polls.

3. I don't quite buy it but I sure hope it's true
I want to see him smash her candidacy into little bitty itty pieces on March 4. I want her irrelevant. And if she retired from the Senate, I'd be thrilled.

10. I tend to agree with you. I sure hope the smears coming out of the Clinton camp are backfiring
This last one, with people in the Clinton campaign ciriculating a picture of him dressed in garb of a local country he was visiting, implying his Muslim background, with anti-Muslim overtones is pretty bad

In spite of all that, I will still vote for the Democratic nominee, but am extremely disappointed in the way Clinton's choose to run their campaign

4. Obama will win Texas by 8-18 points. Probably closer to 18 points.
Been saying it for three weeks, and now the polls are catching up to it.

6. I don't know about the numbers, but this paragraph is the key:
In a report that analyzed Mason Dixon's performances in the polls, it was found that they underestimated Obama's support four times more than the support for Clinton. According to the website, Obama has been successful at getting voters to the polls that generally do not vote and thus are generally excluded from traditional polls.

11. That's right. This is the first time that young folks have shown up at the
polls in big numbers. I think it's great!!!! Every poll has been wrong it seems.
He should win and win big if the trend continues. :-)

17. I can't wait for March 4 and the end of the vicious smear
campaign that Hillary Clinton is running. She has done some major damage to Obama. Stirring up racism and islamophobic smears against him.

I cant wait to hear the wailing and moaning of her and her vicious supporters.

I feel dirty after wallowing thorough the filth of her campaign. Obama will have a hard time bringing us together for the fall but thank God he is drawing so many new and idealistic people to his campaign to help.

I say good riddance to the Hill and Bill anti-hope hate-mongers, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out of the party. Your gutter style of politics is dead in the democratic party.

But don't feel bad.

Theres always room for you at the freakrepublic you f'in losers!

Obama kickin Hillary's rear in Texas and Ohio is going to be sooooo sweet!!:toast:
