(February 25, 2008)—A new CNN poll shows Barack Obama has the support of 50 percent of Texas Democrats to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 46 percent.

The two were running about even in a CNN-Opinion Research Poll conducted a week ago.

With the Texas contest next Tuesday, whites are divided about equally in the new survey,

Obama has a large lead among blacks and Clinton is ahead with Hispanics.

Democrats and Republicans pick the economy as the top issue they will consider in choosing a candidate.

Healthcare ranks second among Democrats while illegal immigration is No. 2 with Republicans.

The poll shows Arizona Senator John McCain comfortably ahead in the GOP race in Texas.

McCain has the support of 56 percent of likely Republican voters, compared to Mike Huckabee’s 31 percent and Ron Paul’s 9 percent.

The CNN-Opinion Research Corp., poll was conducted from Feb. 22-24.

It included telephone interviews with 861 likely Democratic voters in the Texas primary and 751 likely Republican voters.

The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for both Democratic and Republican voters.
