The survey of 1,200 people showed that 57 percent of Texas voters support masking in indoor locations in the state

Phoenix, Arizona is no more conservative than Texas on average. If I go into a Walmart, QT gas, In 'n Out or any place besides Whole Foods or The Container Store, nowhere NEAR 57% are masking. Heck, I went to an optometrist yesterday and even the employees weren't masking. (Employee masking varies with corporate policy, so I found a small, sane office).

The poll most likely shows the power of coercive persuasion. People are answering the pollsters in this way because they don’t want to be viewed by them as an ‘anti-vaxer hick.’ We conservatives are somewhat in a small echo chamber essentially agreeing with each other to a point. Everyone else outside of that echo chamber are drinking from the waters of a massive mono-culture which has been completely suborned by Obamanism, which is America’s version of statist totalitarianism. Obamanism is more related to fascism than socialism as it propagates by means of syndicalism, that is the co-option of the corporate elite.

The Texas Tribune??

LMAO- in essences they polled all the MSNBC watchers in Texas

[TexasGurl24]

Texas Tribune is a Soros rag.

[TexasM1A]

SO you polled people in Moscow on the Colorado and they speak for all of the state?
Tell you what, come poll my neck of the woods in Montgomery County, and I bet you that the results would be the opposite.

Sounds like they cherry-picked the people who were polled.

Unfortunately, that mirrors what I've seen elsewhere. One of the Dallas TV stations often conducts polls during the evening newscast whereby you can vote online or via their app. It's surprising, and disappointing, that the vote usually ends up firmly in favor of masking, mandatory shots, restrictions, and so forth.

Probably polled their uber lib classmates at lunch tables around The Tower.

1200 people poll? Yeh right!!

This is a UT Austin poll conducted with the Texas Tribune. It would be akin to UC Berkeley and the LA Times conducting an online poll.

I am in San Antonio. My observations of what is going on here are that nowhere near 57% of people are masked. It is perhaps 20%. Additionally, almost everyone I speak with is very much opposed to masking, and that is a wide variety by ethnicity, education and political stance (though the Lefties tend to be for it much more).

Bingo!

Meanwhile, in the state of Texas, where 64.6% of the population age 12 and older is vaccinated, and fully 82% of the population age 65 and older is vaccinated, there were 8,408 deaths involving COVID this past September 2021. This reflects an increase of some 259% compared to September 2020 (when, of course, no one in the state of Texas had been vaccinated).

That 8,408 death figure made September 2021 the second worst month for COVID deaths in Texas since the pandemic began, behind only January 2021 (when 10,714 deaths involving COVID were incurred). Further, with respect to "all cause" mortality, September 2021's 167% rate of "expected deaths" was the worst Texas has recorded, on a monthly basis, since the pandemic began.

Meanwhile, while the data for October 2021 is far from complete, the 3,285 deaths recorded so far already exceeds the 2,867 deaths Texas incurred in October 2020.

Whatever they're doing in Texas to address COVID deaths doesn't seem to be working.
