Clinton and Obama are officially tied in Texas with a 9% of the electorate undecided
Austin's NBC News affiliate has conducted a pre-debate poll of the electorate and this is what they've found :
The race for the Democratic nomination is too close to call. The large percentage of "undecided" voters give even more weight to the CNN debates Thursday evening. As Senators Clinton and Obama both tour Texas, they will be reaching out to the undecideds to close the gap.
If the election were held today, who would you vote for? Democrats:
- Clinton 46%
- Obama 45%
- Undecided 9%
Margin of error: +/- 4%
If the election were held today, who would you vote for? Republicans:
- Huckabee 30%
- McCain 52%
- Paul 9%
- Undecided 9%
Margin of error: +/- 4%
Voter interest is high for the March 4 primary and as Texas plays a role in deciding the nominee, the expected voter turnout is historic.
