3%. The DEMs put nearly every dollar they could into that race, and native Texans almost gave the election to Beto.

2.6%
~2.5 points
Sienna Polling is the NYT’s near-captive polling organization. It is always left biased.

The cheaters are emboldened by the fiasco in California. That’s why the polls always skew democrat. Because they account for the cheat.
Push poll. These people are running on hopium, a most delightful form of high optimism based on living entirely within an echo chamber environment. Of course, there is the big letdown on the other side of the contest, as the hopium disappears in the twilight.
