Hillary Clinton maintains a narrow lead over Barack Obama (51% to 46%) in the upcoming Texas primary, but Obama is running away with Texas (61% to 39%), according to the latest Impact presidential poll of MySpace users eligible to vote in the November election.

On the Republican side, John McCain and Mike Huckabee are running tight in Texas (38% to 35%), but McCain is surging in Ohio (53% to 23%).

When it comes to the general election this fall, MySpace voters favor either Obama or Clinton over McCain or Huckabee. But while Obama would easily defeat McCain (59% to 31%), Clinton would beat him in a closer contest (46% to 38%). The results were based on an online survey completed by 5,256 MySpace users between Feb. 12 and 18.
