Recent polls indicate that House Speaker Dade Phelan’s popularity is plummeting in his district.

House District 24, which prior to redistricting was the shape of a horseshoe encompassing Winnie, Port Arthur, Beaumont and Orange in southeast Texas, now includes a sliver of the region stretching north to include Jasper County.

Two polls conducted by CWS Research, LLC, a veteran-owned general consulting and data analytics firm hired by Defend Texas Liberty PAC, show Phelan’s favorability has dropped by roughly half after the 88th general legislative session. Both polls surveyed likely 2024 Texas Republican primary voters in Texas House District 21. The polls were conducted through a series of live phone calls and online surveys delivered by SMS messages. Participants were randomly selected and the surveys have a +/- margin of error of 4.86% and 4.88%, respectively.

By the last weekend of May, 35% polled expressed a favorable view of Phelan, down from 60%, with 15% expressing a “very favorable” and 20% a “somewhat favorable” view.

If the election were held that weekend in May, 24% polled said they would vote for Phelan; 48% would vote for a “more conservative candidate.” Nearly 30% said they were unsure.

Apparently, Texas voters are not pleased with majority leader Phelan, and his coordination with the Democrats in voting down legislation supporting conservative issues.

He should be at 10%, or less.

Phelan led the Republican insurrection/impeachment against the GOP Texas Attorney General (and Conservative stalwart), Ken Paxton.
