Polls: Obama slim lead in Texas, gains in Ohio

Barack Obama holds a slight lead on Hillary Clinton in Texas and has almost pulled even in Ohio before contests that could decide their Democratic presidential battle, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Houston Chronicle poll released on Friday.

Obama, an Illinois senator, has a 6-point edge on Clinton in Texas, 48 percent to 42 percent. He trails Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent in Ohio — well within the poll’s margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Keep in mind, just two weeks ago, Clinton has commanding leads in both states. Ohio and Texas are pivotal to her campaign.

The Clinton campaign raised $35 million in February. That is a huge number. But, what is even bigger is Obama’s February fund raising total. His campaign raised $50 million. Sorry, Hillary. This just isn’t your year.
