New Quinnipiac Poll of Texas: Biden 45% Trump 44%

[W_Heisenberg]

Texas (TX) Poll - July 22, 2020 - Texans Say 2 To 1 That Coronav | Quinnipiac University Connecticut

In the race for the White House, 45 percent of voters support former Vice President Joe Biden, while 44 percent back President Trump. That compares to early June when the race was equally tight and voters backed Trump 44 percent to Biden's 43 percent. In today's survey, Democrats back Biden 94 - 3 percent, independents back Biden 51 - 32 percent and Republicans back Trump 89 - 6 percent.

"With crises swirling through American society and a country deeply divided, there's no other way to slice it. It's a tossup in Texas," Malloy added

--

Biden's lead will increase.

Trump is an incompetent idiot that still doesn't have his act together with respect to Covid-19.

We shall see come November. I don't think it behooves anyone at this point to start counting chickens.

While the trending over the years is certainly in the correct direction, I wouldn't read much into this poll quite yet.

Agreed, but it is an interesting snapshot in time.

He's still within the margin of error. It's too soon to break out the Champaign.

The Democrats will not win Texas

Not yet


Soon

Agreed, but it is an interesting snapshot in time.

It is interesting, that a State that's been so traditionally hard-red could even have Biden and Trump within margins of error between each other. We'll see though. If Texas ends up evolving into a Purple state, it may end up forcing changes within the GOP.

 

[iliveonramen]

Yeah, I know the polling has been shockingly close between the two but really doubt it goes to Biden on election day. Of course, who knows...here in Florida as coronavirus has gotten worse it seems that a gap between Biden (in Biden's favor) has increased. Abbot is similar to De Santis in that he was a mini trump when it came to the virus and pushed stuff early.

Its trending that way. I don't think it's happening fast enough for Biden to win, but the fact that we're even having this discussion, speaks volumes.

We shall see come November. I don't think it behooves anyone at this point to start counting chickens.

Yep, because either way we are stuck with an old fool in the WH.

Yep

What happens when it does go Blue ya think?

 

[Rexedgar]

Agreed, but it is an interesting snapshot in time.

Don’t start with the “moral victory.”


Needs to be a crushing defeat, imo.

 

[Rexedgar]

US elections have been the lesser of two evils for a long time. We need to address that....:shrug:

Polls this far out are basically just snapshota in time. Much can and will happen before November.

The donor class and those placed into elected positions of power with their assistance would likely disagree.

Agreed, fol just place too much emphasis on them at this stage. We are a fickle bunch; the polls change almost daily, “blowing in the wind.”

 

[Ikari]

Yep, because either way we are stuck with an old fool in the WH.

As has been the trend in our Presidential elections, it all comes down to which stinking, giant pile of **** you're most willing to tolerate for 4 years.

3% of the sample responded they would not vote. Simple question, do only 3% of eligible voters in Texas not vote?

The problem is, what sane, qualfied individual would want the job, in this day and age?

 

[Anagram]

It seems like a possible outcome.

Texas was 20 points more Republican than the nation as a whole in 2012, but just 11 points more Republican than the nation in 2016. If Biden were to end up winning nationally by 7-10% on election day, it would not be terribly surprising if Texas were to flip. It also would not be surprising if it didn't.

 

[HumblePi]

Twitter announced today that they have banned more than 7,500 QAnon accounts and limited those of 150,000 others as part of a broad crackdown.

QAnon is famous for their conspiracy theories and Trump frequently re-tweets them. Factions that are right-wing conspiracy theorists helped Trump a great deal in 2016. QAnon is just a garbage-filled hate speech group that pushed the Pizza-gate and Seth Rich conspiracies.

I'm glad that Twitter is taking the lead on this in addition to putting a warning notice on Trump's tweets when he blatantly lies. I wish Facebook would be as willing to stop this disgusting behavior by alt-right groups.

Texas should vote Libertarian.

Or.... Hillary got a 1/2 million more votes in 2016 than Obama got in 2012

I've been saying for years the L party should concentrate on local elections and then build from there, instead of waisting money on presidential elections they have no hope of winning.
