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%).

I do not understand how everyone cannot see it that way. Giving her a chance is insane!
I guess it is who you associate with but the dems around here are saying they don’t like Hillary but they really don’t like Obama. Interestingly, that even though they don’t like the Mrs. they seem to want to share how great a president Mr. was.
five minutes ago, Fox News showed Hillary with a slight lead in both sataes.
Sounds like an outlier poll.
We almost elected a global warming kook and an anti-American war protester.
On our backs, just like all of the other political parasites.

“Vote for Huckabee. Send McCain a message.”
Would that be the same message that the Perotistas
sent to Bill Clinton when they gave us the guy
for eight years?
I just spent the weekend up in Vermont. If yard signs are any indication, Obama is going to win in a landslide.
We want her to weaken Obama to the point that he is nothing but a leftist candidate in the general election. I know people around here don’t like McCain and with good reason but he is the lessr of the three evils here. Moderates will go with McCain a lot more easily than a leftist but McCain and Hillary split the middle of the roaders.
This explains the signs of desperation coming from the witch’s camp.
Thanks...... It seems the Blue-blood Demokrats haven’t lost their minds, yet..........
Yup. Take 'em out one at a time.
Vote for Huckabee. Send the GOP a message...”we want someone else besides McCain”
Hitlery cannot hurt Bambi!
VT is filled with "highly educated" granola types, so Obambi wins it hands down.
exactly.
The whole world knows the hijab is considered a sign of sexual slavery. It is a symbol of nonperson status in the Muslim world.
By wearing the headscarf women say, 'I am the property of my husband, my father and my family.'
Hillary put it on for a stupid photo op. She was pandering to the press when she did it. She asked her daughter, Chelsea, to do the same.
The woman is a witch. Pure and simple.
You may be correct, but there is one problem. People blinded by O’s light will come out in droves. I can’t see conservatives coming out in droves for Mcpain. 3 to 2 in votes is what I am predicting and that extra 3rd will vote for Obamasama.
