TX GOP Primary is No Longer Competitive; McCain Gaining In Huckabee's Key Demo's:
John McCain defeats Mike Huckabee in a Republican Primary in Texas today, 56% to 32%, according to a SurveyUSA tracking poll conducted exclusively for KTRK-TV Houston, KTVT-TV Dallas and KRLD-AM radio. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll one week ago, McCain is up 6 points, from 50% to 56%, Huckabee is down 5 points, from 37% to 32%. McCain had led by 13, now by 24.

Of them, 1,780 were registered to vote. Of them, 484 were identified by SurveyUSA as having already voted, or as being likely to vote on or before the 03/04/08 Republican Primary. 19% of respondents have already voted. Among those who have already voted, McCain leads by 29 points. |
