If he were to take the plunge and run for governor, the poll found, 45% of Texas registered voters would vote for McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey commands more support to be Texas’ next governor than incumbent Greg Abbott, according to a poll released Sunday by The Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler.
However, the film actor and political newcomer could hit potholes in either major party’s primary if he enters next year’s governor’s race, the poll found.
For months, McConaughey has teased political pundits and TV talk show hosts with musings that he might enter politics in his home state.
Texans are not stupid.
We’ll just hire another actor who has no political experience but will be the perfect DNC puppet.
Is McConaughey a democRAT?
That is some very serious weed they are smoking at NBC. I think they should have it checked for PCP.
He is a libertarian more on the Republican side of libertarian!! I would rather see their AG as governor!!
Trump got 52%. And Beto?
Pretty boy. Those things don’t count? Ask the women. They don’t lie.
He’s always seemed like a pretty dim bulb to me.
He’ll have to find good screenwriters and directors.
He’s not that pretty anymore he’s just OK!!! He WAS a hottie 15 years ago!!!
A friend of mine met with him when she was doing Make a Wish. She said he showed up with no entourage and they had lunch - he was a regular guy.
That’s not what she said about Shaq.
Not sure why, but the man makes my skin crawl.
I wouldn’t vote for him if he was running against Pol Pot.
I would rather see their AG as governor!!
me too!!!
The first person he thanked when he won the Oscar was God. I think it might be an Oscar first.
Greg Abbott is the best Governor in the nation period. DeSantis comes in a close second.
Yes, Ken Paxton is excellent. Texas is blessed in leadership.
Or maybe we in FL could just share Desantis(?)
He needs to prove his conservative bona fides and take a strong stance on the immigration issue, but as far as character is concerned, I’ve only ever heard good things about him.
Why do you believe Abbott is the best governor?
He’s the first I wrote hate mail to.
“Greg Abbott is the best Governor in the nation period. DeSantis comes in a close second.”
Where’s the sarc tag?
None of the solid conservative groups I follow support him.
I would prefer Allen West run for Gov. Real conservative with a spine.
