Biden Texas Lead Over Trump Dwindles as Dems Aim to Turn Lone Star State Blue
Newsweek ^ | 9/6/2020 | David Brennan

Posted on 09/06/2020 7:35:46 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

A new Texas poll shows that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's lead over President Donald Trump is closing, as Democrats work towards winning the Lone Star State for the first time since 1976.

A blue Texas would mean almost certain defeat for Trump, who is already struggling to boost his poll numbers amid the coronavirus pandemic, economic turmoil and nationwide unrest over institutionalized racism and inequality.

Democrats are eyeing Texas's 38 Electoral College votes and Sen. John Cornyn's seat, which is also up for grabs on November 3. If challenger Mary Jennings Hegar can unseat Cornyn, it would be a huge step in the Democratic effort to re-establish its Senate majority.

But a new poll from The Dallas Morning News and University of Texas at Tyler shows that Trump is closing Biden's lead. The former vice president is now ahead 44-43 with all registered Texas voters, down from a 5-point lead two months ago.

I cannot for the life of me imagine Texas would stoop so low as to elect Biden.

And I assume the person who wrote this expects to be taken seriously?

Texas was never on play, but especially after California was added to the ticket with Kamala. Texas ain’t voting to become Cali.

So funny how they see - “almost certain defeat for Trump” - words that you will see attached to the Biden name - in like, never. Maybe 11/4/20, but’s being way optimistic.

This Trump fellow is in deep though, he’s “already struggling to boost his poll numbers amid the ... nationwide unrest over institutionalized racism and inequality.” It’s sounds like it’s almost a done deal, he’ll never pull this off.

Oh wait, that Trump guy is only 1% behind our guy!! Oh Noes!

Joke poll?
Exactly like in 2016.

September 6 2016:
Poll: Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump in Texas

https://www.kut.org/post/poll-hillary-clinton-leads-donald-trump-texas

Trump ended up winning Texas by 9%.

In that poll, Kamala has 54% disapproval from Texas Independents and 84% disapproval from Texas Republicans.

They know the damage the California transplant locusts are doing to Texas.

I 1pt. difference among registered voters is not a lead, even in this biased poll.

The reason for Biden’s weakening support is not just the riots. It’s Biden. His poll numbers would be declining even if there were no riots.
