The poll interviewed 2,149 adults including 751 voters who say they are likely to vote in the Texas Republican presidential primary and 861 who say they are likely to vote in the Texas Democratic presidential primary.

When asked which candidate voters would support for the Republican nomination for president, 56 percent of likely Republican voters said they would vote for Arizona Sen. John McCain, while 36 percent said they would vote for Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Nine percent support Ron Paul and four percent had no opinion.

On the Democratic side, 50 percent of likely voters support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for president and 46 percent support New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. The polls reveal four percent had no opinion.

The poll also includes public opinion on issues such as health care, the economy, illegal immigration and the war in Iraq. Both democratic candidates are basically tied in this part of the poll.
