More than two-thirds of Texas Republicans APPROVE of Cornyn despite heat over gun bill
The Hill ^ | 06/23/22 4:16 PM ET | BY CAROLINE VAKIL

More than two-thirds of Texas Republican voters approve of Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) job performance, according to a poll released on Thursday, despite heat he has received from former President Trump and others over his involvement in crafting bipartisan gun safety legislation.

The new Morning Consult survey, conducted June 11-20, found that 68 percent of registered Republican voters in the state approved of Cornyn’s job performance, the same percentage he received when respondents were last polled between May 14 and May 23.

A slightly higher percentage of Texas Republican voters have said they disapprove of the job Cornyn is doing, however — 17 percent give the senator a thumbs down in the latest poll, compared to 11 percent in May.

The development comes after Cornyn, who has represented Texas in the Senate since 2002, was booed at the state’s GOP convention last week, including when he discussed what could be included in the gun safety bill, which advanced in the Senate on Thursday in a 65-34 vote.

But the poll shows that while Cornyn’s role as lead Republican negotiator of the bipartisan gun bill, which was unveiled this week, may have upset some Republicans in the state, he retains his standing with the majority.

Voters realize he’s in the seat until January 2027 so why have such a poll?

Propaganda

Most of the poll was taken before Cornyn opened his mouth and LONG before we actually saw this abomination and treachery of our constitutional rights.

“More than two-thirds of Texas Republicans APPROVE of Cornyn despite heat over gun bill”

Depends on the alternative.

Cornyn/Cruz, Cruz wins, of course.

Cornyn/Beto, then I’ll take the guy who voted for 100% of Trump’s judges (Cornyn), rather than the guy who would vote for 10% of them (if that).

What’s going on is most people aren’t political news junkies. Check again once the bill passes. Or during the next primary season.

Interesting. I didn’t check the dates of the poll but appears you’re right...

Dwayne Stovall, a complete unknown businessman, got 39% of the vote in Cornyn’s last primary. This is a fake poll.

the bill is a good compromise...at least it recognizes hardening schools and the mental health problem..as far as red flag...it supports it but no mandate NATIONWIDE. It leaves it to the states...which is a plus.

If you think there would be no bill passed...you're not being realistic.

We’re going to hear these “polls” constantly until the midterm election.
This is so far from reality that it seems like a joke at first.
