Obama catches HRC in latest CNN Texas primary poll



CNN Politics.com is reporting that a new poll suggests the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination between Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois is a statistical dead heat in Texas. Really?

More below the fold.

CNN Politics reports:

But taking into account the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 4½ percentage points for Democratic respondents, the race is a virtual tie

How do people explain this? Don't the demographics favor HRC in Texas? If so, why the change?
