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%).

Re: Vote for Huckabee, send MCCain a message.......
Oh Lord...aren’t you done banging that drum YET?
it’s SO OVER!
I''d love to be in the room when her thighness gets the results of these polls...
I mean, she IS the world's smartest woman.
awww gee... made a tear come to my eye...
I know that I'm voting for Obamalamdingdong.
If true then our national disgrace is finally over and we can then throw dirt on the Clinton crime syndicates grave.
Then on to defeating Obamma Ramma Ding Dong.
“it’s SO OVER!”
No, it’s not over. If McCain gets the nomination easily, he will think he has a mandate to do whatever he wishes, including picking a liberal Republican for VP.
So tell me, how does it help conservatism to vote for McCain in the PRIMARIES?
Voting for Huckabee sends McCain a message that he can’t take the conservative vote for granted.
McCain voted AGAINST drilling in ANWR, which tells me that he won’t support drilling ANYWHERE in our OIL-RICH COUNTRY.
It is rumored that RINO Gov. Charlie Crist is also against drilling for oil (within 125 mi. offshore FL), just like McCain. MEANWHILE, China is drilling offshore of Florida.
Sorry, meant to say in my last post:
It is rumored that RINO Gov. Charlie Crist is ON SENATOR MC CAIN’S SHORT LIST FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, and Charlie Crist is also against drilling for oil (within 125 mi. offshore FL), just like McCain. MEANWHILE, China is drilling offshore of Florida.
