2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTexas Lyceum Poll: Clinton 36%, Sanders 24%, Biden 15%
Looking yet farther ahead into the general election, the Lyceum poll found Texans do not favor Clinton who trails Bush, Cruz and Trump by eight, seven and two points, respectively. But Texans polled supported Clinton over Rubio, who trailed by seven points.
The poll also tallied approval ratings for Gov. Greg Abbott, 56 percent, and President Barack Obama, 52 percent.

I've posted the results on the Republican race in LBN.

to be in the Oct 13 debate. I don't know why anyone's taking him seriously
anymore.

(19,326 posts)but part of the Biden numbers have to be "anyone but Hillary" .. so I suspect Biden numbers
are more or less evenly split between Clinton & Sanders, which would make it 43 Clinton / 32 Sanders,
with an 11 point spread.
What galls me is we are left to guess about this shit, rather than having pollsters that only list
ACTUAL candidates.

(5,213 posts)The more people see if Bernie the more they like. He's opposite of Hillary in that regard.

I hope that Texas Tribune conducts another poll in about a month after at least the first debate and also past the point that Biden will have decided whether he enters the primary contests.

It also reflects the fact that the people who don't like the job that the president is doing are very adamant about their poutrage.
