Former Vice President Joe Biden has regained a narrow lead over President Donald Trump in Texas, after wooing more independents and Hispanics, according to a poll released Sunday by The Dallas Morning News and University of Texas at Tyler.
Biden’s lead among likely voters is 48%-45%, within the poll’s margin of error.
In the Texas race for U.S. Senate, Republican incumbent John Cornyn lost a bit more ground against Democrat MJ Hegar. Cornyn’s lead now stands at 8 points, down from 11 in September.
Also, in a sign of potential trouble for Texas as it grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, fewer than half of Texas registered voters say they’re likely to take a COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available. That’s a slide from last spring, when about three-quarters were willing.
“Texas remains a tossup because of the public’s attitudes toward President Trump,” said political scientist Mark Owens, who directed the poll.
In September, 32% of Texans said they had no confidence in Trump’s ability to keep communities safe from the coronavirus pandemic, Owens noted. Today, 44% voice that sentiment. Trump, though, still has the advantage as the candidate Texans believe would handle the economy best.
Biden, who was 2 points behind Trump among likely voters in The News and UT-Tyler’s September survey, edged slightly ahead of the president this month by expanding his support among independents and grabbing a better than 3-to-1 advantage among Hispanics.
The former vice president’s rebound from last month, when Trump led among likely Texas voters, 48-46, is sure to boost the already high spirits of state Democrats.

I checked with a dozen donuts, and the cake donuts (Trump supporters all) beat the glazed donuts, with a lone sprinkled donut voting for the Libertarian candidate.
It is rural Texas, after all.
And at least as accurate as this fanciful poll by UT.
10 days to SAVE OUR REPUBLIC..
Please Christian brother and sister...pray RIGHT NOW...STOP what you are doing..kneel down and ask God in the name of Jesus to ‘restore America’ and protect President Trump.
Please, please....Do It NOW...
... prayer IS the most powerful HOPE for our Republic...
Please ...... PRAY RIGHT NOW...
May God Bless America.
I will repost this MOST critical post ‘repeatedly’ from now until the election. Pray that we all truly begin to pray.
Your brother, in the love of Jesus, RevelationDavid.
Been doing it for a year! I’m way ahead of you.
Biden leading Trump by 3 is probably less absurd than the idea that Cornholio is outperforming Trump by 11! LOL!!!
Save this poll. It is epic propaganda....
They are overpollling Karen’s and under polling the rural vote. Looks like this was @ least partially predebate
I hope the numbers for Maine are accurate. Thanks.
HILLARY HAS A 90% CHANCE OF WINNING.
Ha ha ha ha nice try marxists but no sale.
Fakest of the fake polls.
If Biden wins Texas, none of the other battlegrounds matter.
The guy that does this is Indy and we have been seeing a shift. This covid-19 thing is a distraction to the corruption. BTW these numbers only have the first part of Biden’s laptop.
When my wife and I early voted there was only one person voting when we arrived. So the media is lying about the early voting also.
You, LS, Coop Speedy, are really the folks I follow on FR these days. Voices of reason. Thank you for your efforts.
Is this similar to that “unskewed polls” stuff we kept seeing in 2012?
“Where do they find these people? So “the public’s attitudes toward President Trump” must take into account the stinky stuff revealed through Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
They find them in the Dallas-based self-righteous myopic Beth Moore’s of the world and her foolish followers. It makes me angry that her and the Minnesota guy (Jack Piper?) can’t see that it’s a simple binary choice - ONE person WILL be elected. So you either help vote for the carnal man who has professed support and openness to Christians, Pro-Life, Israel, Pro-Freedom and surrounded himself with those people OR you criticize, sit out, and therefore HELP (by a non-vote) elect a MORE SECRETLY IMMORAL man who surrounds himself with WICKED and EVIL people to ADVANCE slaughtering of babies, Anti-God, Anti-Christian, Anti-Israel Anti-Freedom principles.
You posted it again because you’re afraid it might be true and you’re looking for reassurance. There’s no shame in that. Many get nervous when they see this crap. Even me sometimes.
You didn’t do it for posterity sake and that’s okay. If I had my way there would be no more polls on this website until the election
Have done that numerous times. In a few days, we’ll know if God heeded our prayers.
This is from an indy internal pollster. Right after Trump wiped out Biden in the debate. I expected a bunch of false polls showing Biden doing better which we are seeing like clockwork. I know the pollster is polling these key states right now and we should get results. I expect his numbers will show Trump and GOP margins widening.
Must be why President Trump is spending so much time campaigning in Texas to shore up his base... /s (did I REALLY need to add the sarcasm tag?)
