TX: Public Policy Polling: Perry only leads Obama by single digits

[redcommander]

I should warn Libs not to get their hopes up of winning Texas. Remember McCain was within the margin of error against Obama in California in 2007, and Giuliani was even leading in certain New York head to head matchups. We all know how those two states turned out for the GOP.

Would you post a poll that shows that?  That's very interesting.

Also, no, Democrats are not counting on 2012 as a great state for us.  Is it impossible?  Of course not, but highly unlikely to trend our way this time around.  Still, in the next few elections, it will likely become a swing state.

Here's one from May 2008 that shows Obama leading McCain 47-40, and Clinton leading McCain 43-40%.

SurveyUSA had a bunch in 2007 too.

That is a surprise, considering how Obama trounced McCain in 2008, and how the Republicans ended up losing territory in the midterms.

McCain was actually a pretty good fit for California. That problem was Democrats quickly united once Hillary endorsed Obama, and the economy tanked.
