The Texas Credit Union League polled the Texas Democratic and Republican primaries and found Hillary Clinton holding a lead over Barack Obama on the Democratic side and John McCain slightly ahead but in a statistical tie with Mike Huckabee on the Republican side.

On behalf of the Texas Credit Union League, Public Opinion Strategies and Hamilton Campaigns conducted two Texas statewide surveys. One survey was conducted among 400 Republican primary voters and the other among 400 Democratic primary voters. These surveys were conducted February 11-13, 2008 and each has a margin of error of + 4.9%.


THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

• Senator Clinton leads Senator Obama 49% to 41% among Democratic primary voters, with 8% undecided at this time.

• Clinton also enjoys a slight edge in the image ratings. Three-quarters (75%) of Democratic primary voters have a favorable opinion of her (48% strongly favorable), and 23% unfavorable; while 71% have a favorable image of Obama (41% strongly favorable), and 24% unfavorable.

• Those who plan on voting early are tilting towards Obama (46% to 42%) while Clinton leads 51% to 40% among voters who are waiting until Election Day to cast their vote.

• Clinton's coalition is comprised of Hispanics, women, and strong Democrats, while Obama's support is coming primarily from African Americans, independents, men, and higher income households.
