Trump Popularity Below 50% in TEXAS, Of All Places. Cruz Challenger O'Rourke gaining

Some people think that Texas will one day in the near future be a purple state. Current polling would seem to justify that thinking. 

Among all adults, Trump is underwater in the Lone Star state,  and among registered voters he is barely breaking even .  This seems astonishing considering the last few decades of election results in Texas. 

Ted Cruz is also struggling against the Democratic upstart Beto O'Rourke.

If Texas goes blue, it's all over for the GOP.

I dunno. I've come to believe that trump could commit murder live on TV in the White House and his supporters would cheer him

If they got rid of Cruz, that would be a great start.

In my neck of the DFW woods, it's difficult to walk into a restaurant/grocery store/dry cleaners/medical building/Pets Mart/etc. and find anyone who still openly supports Donald Trump.  In fact, for the first time in a long time, there was a collective giddiness in the air today; a light at the end of the tunnel kind of feeling.

Beto is a great candidate, I hope he wins. He is respectful of everyone regardless of party and is a fantastic role model.

Well, there you go again, trusting NBC polls.

One would think y'all learned your lesson in November of 2016.

Guess not.

Maybe this one will be closer to what you like,

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) may have a close reelection race on his hands, Dana Perino reported Wednesday on "The Daily Briefing."
A Texas Lyceum Group poll of more than 800 registered voters in the Lone Star State shows Cruz only two points ahead of El Paso Democratic Rep. Robert "Beto" O'Rourke -- 36 percent to 34 percent.
Cruz is a routine supporter of President Donald Trump, while O'Rourke has made calls for the president to be impeached as fallout from the July summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Oh, by the way, this was FAUX Noise.

Perhaps but you seem to have forgotten they got it wrong as well.   About the only one i remember that got it right was Rasmussen

What is that?   Is that a new dance kids today are doing.   Like the Funky Chicken or the Mash Potato perhaps?

LOL, I don't believe that Texas will turn Blue or, purple, I believe that maybe one Democrat will get into the House or, the Senate from there but, will last maybe one term. Most Texans have this one problem when it comes to telling them anything, if you try to tell them what to do in the interest of helping them they say, "Don't tell me what to do" and, do the exact opposite of what they should just to spite you, they can't help themselves, I think it's something in the water there.

Ideally people are catching on that Trump hasn't actually done a fucking thing except complicate things. If there ever was a presidency where the president literally could just not do a single fucking thing and be considered a success, this was it. But Trump, in his typical fashion, just couldn't not do anything. He just had to do stuff, and just like in the business world, it all immediately went to shit.

Seriously, how does a president who inherited a booming economy, no major foreign wars or situations, and no major social disturbance, have an approval rating in the low 40s at best? Oh, it is because they are a dip shit and created problems where none existed.

It's always been purple.  The mayors of every major city in Texas are Democrats.  The most revered state politician in our history is a Democrat.  

Texans are (in general) anti-Clinton and anti-Pelosi (and other hard leftists).  If Beto were running as a Blue Dog and promised to vote against stupid leftist policies, he'd be five points ahead in the polls.

Among all adults, Trump is underwater in the Lone Star state,  and among registered voters he is barely breaking even .  This seems astonishing considering the last few decades of election results in Texas. 

Trump has never been all that popular in urban areas in Texas.  But he is significantly less unpopular than Hillary, which is how he won.

Ted Cruz is also struggling against the Democratic upstart Beto O'Rourke. 

Beto is still a longshot.

True but it’s obvious they still haven’t learned their lesson from Nov 2016.

That you can’t simply talk and extort your candidate into office.     The American people aren’t that stupid to fall for that.
