Decision Analyst is the first pollster to proclaim Barack Obama as the leader in either of the two big states that vote on March 4: Texas, Ohio.
Pictured to the left is Jerry Thomas, CEO of DecisionAnalyst.com.
They say that they carefully selected the demographic compositions used in their polls. Most pollsters thus far have not been fully representing the support Barack Obama gets at the polls because the demographic composition of those going out to the polls tend to be under-represented in traditional polling based on previous turnout.
According to the Democratic Texas poll by Decision Analyst:
“As the second most populous state, Texas’ delegate count is large, and an Obama win of the magnitude indicated by our survey would most likely propel Obama to the Democratic nomination,” according to Jerry W. Thomas, President/CEO of Decision Analyst. “It is still two weeks to the March 4 election, and many things can happen, but as of today, Obama has a commanding lead.”
The issues of greatest importance to those who plan to vote in the Democratic Primary are (in order of importance): making healthcare more affordable (chosen by 35%); making the economy stronger and better (chosen by 29%); bringing the troops home from Iraq (28%); leadership (ability to manage government, work with world leaders, get things done) (17%); reducing gasoline prices and the cost of energy (16%).
According to the Democratic Ohio poll by Decision Analyst:
The issues of greatest importance to those who plan to vote in the Democratic Primary are (in order of importance): providing good healthcare for everyone (chosen by 36%); bringing the troops home from Iraq (31%); making the economy stronger and better (31%); reducing unemployment, creating more job opportunities (23%); reducing gasoline prices and the cost of energy (19%); leadership (ability to manage government, work with world leaders, get things done) (18%).
According to the Republican Texas poll by Decision Analyst:
The issues of greatest importance to those who will vote in the Republican Primary are very different from the Democratic voters. The key Republican issues: protecting the U.S. from illegal immigration (39%); fighting terrorism (31%); making the economy stronger and better (29%); character (honesty, ethics, and integrity of candidate) (27%); leadership (ability to manage government, work with world leaders, get things done) (19%).

Vote for Huckabee. Send McCain a message.
I HOPE you are right. But I am AUDACIOUS in my HOPE that the dems split at the convention and Hillary does not become the VP.....
I love Rush, but disagree with his views of keeping her thighness alive all the way to the demonRAT convention.
TAKE HER OUT, REMOVE ALL DOUBT.
I agree. Let’s face it...he may do great in the democrat primaries where dippy teenagers and guilt ridden white liberals are willing to slobber all over him but this country is not ready to elect anyone named Barack Hussein Obama as President. Never gonna happen.
Never let a wounded lion get back up.
Not sure I believe these polls, as many others have her leading OH.
Yep, a convention fight is best.
She may yet Screwy Louie endorsed Obama today.
See #13. I am with Ann on this one.
