Belo Poll: Clinton retakes lead; McCain's lead over 30 points 
10:30 PM CST on Friday, February 29, 2008
Early voting ended in Texas Friday, as a new Belo Texas poll shows that Sen. Hillary Clinton has retaken the lead in the state by a narrow margin.
The poll shows Clinton now has 46 percent of the vote, just ahead of Sen. Barack Obama, who has 45 percent.
That marks a switch from their positions Thursday night, when Obama was ahead with 46 to Clinton’s 45 percent. In both cases, the race remains a statistical tie.
The poll also indicates that turnout among Hispanic voters could be the deciding factor in Tuesday’s election.
Clinton has gone from a 29 point lead among Hispanics earlier in the week, to a 40-point gap now.
Obama maintains a commanding lead among African-American voters, at 76 to 13 percent.
Republican John McCain continues to lead Mike Huckabee two to 1, by 59 to 27 percent.
Pollsters interviewed 1,200 likely Texas presidential primary voters statewide, including 721 who say they are likely to vote in the Democratic primary, and 479 who say they are likely to vote in the Republican primary. The numbers for the Democratic primary have a margin of error of 3.7 percent, and numbers for the Republican primary have a margin of error or 4.5 percent.
