Biden leads in Texas, O'Rourke in second: poll

The Hill

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the field of Democratic nominees in Texas while home-state candidate Beto O'Rourke is in second, according to a poll released Monday.

Biden is the first choice of 23 percent of likely Democratic voters in the Lone Star State.

O'Rourke, a former congressman who made a strong upset bid for Sen. Ted Cruz's (R) seat in 2018, sits in second in the Democratic field with 15 percent support.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are statistically tied with O'Rourke at 14 percent and 12 percent respectively.


Perhaps there's a message here for Julian Castro?

This is great news https://politicalwire.com/2019/06/17/trumps-support-is-just-50-50-in-texas/

“Half of the registered voters in Texas would vote to reelect President Trump, but half of them would not,” according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.

“Few of those voters were wishy-washy about it: 39% said they would ‘definitely’ vote to reelect Trump; 43% said they would ‘definitely not’ vote for him. The remaining 18% said they would ‘probably’ (11%) or ‘probably not’ (7%) vote to give Trump a second term.”
