Clinton, Trump neck-and-neck in new Texas poll

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton is narrowing in on Donald Trump's lead in Texas, according to a new poll released on Tuesday.

Trump leads Clinton 41% to 38%, according to the latest University of Houston survey. Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson stands in third place with 4% support, followed by Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 1%, with 11% undecided. GOP presidential candidates have won Texas by no less than 11 percentage points since 2000, according to a memo accompanying the poll results. Democrats last won Texas in a presidential race in 1976.

The poll also showed that, despite Trump's narrow lead, 53% of Texas voters thought Clinton would be elected as the next US president compared to 23% of voters who said they thought it would be Trump.

The Hobby School of Public Affairs surveyed 1,000 likely Texas voters between October 7-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. In another poll published Tuesday, St. Norbert College found Clinton ahead of Trump in Wisconsin, 47% to 39%, followed by Stein at 3% and Johnson at 1%.

The St. Norbert College poll surveyed 664 likely voters in Wisconsin between October 13-16 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

They must be using the double-vote poll respondents, as they plan to do in the election.

I remember an article quoting James Carvile. He said the polls were under polling Republicans.It appears the Republican voters are ust hanging up on pollsters as they do not trust them. I can certainly understand why NBC polls would cause that reaction and why they over polled Democrats by 18%.

I think the polls are being rigged to make it seem like the race is close, when really Trump is far ahead.

But if they try and steal it, then those polls will be used to claim that the race was really close, and for some strange reason Clinton just nosed past Trump.

Someone needs to get the real names and addresses of the people planning, conducting, and releasing these polls.

When President Trump is elected, he can have the Feds investigate their bank accounts for Dem $$$$, or their houses / work spaces for LSD.

As a Texan, not on your life.

The article mentions the last time Texas voted for a Democrat was 1976, Jimmeh Caateh. But those were drastically different times, when Democrats COULD be, and often were, staunchly conservative on most issues, and a Southerner in the race was very appealing to many in the state.

If True, he’s losing in a landslide.

Note in a lot of these polls, Hillary has trouble getting out of the low 40s.
