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.
And now that we know trump is guilty of a federal crime.....that won't help him in the least.
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
Weird, Trump isn't on the ballot.
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.
Awesome! Now if we could get that same feeling here in Little Rock
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,
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 Sparty, you know as well as I do that FAUX Noise=FOX News.
That's a relief.
I wouldn't want to be out of touch on the latest dance moves for the next wedding i go to.
People keep telling me how Texas is turning purple, or blue.
I guess they chose to ignore the fact that a Democrat hasn't won a statewide race here since 1994.
I remember when little Wendy Davis and her cute little tennis shoes were "turning Texas purple", too. She had the entire Democratic Party cheering her on and donating big bucks to her campaign. She was national news and the progressives loved her.
Anyone know how that election turned out?
It is. In the last election sure Trump won Texas, but 43% of the vote, in one of the reddest places on Earth, went to the shittiest possible candidate the Dems could field. Not exactly encouraging. That is up from 41% in 2012, 44% in 2008, 38% in 2004 and 2000. The trend is not encouraging for the GOP.
And the Cowboys haven't been worth giving a shit about since then either, yet their fans are always yelling that "this is their year!" (it isn't). The demographic tide is turning against the GOP, simple as that. Eventually it will be the Democrats year (unlike the Shitboys) unless the GOP makes some serious changes.
Better than previous elections lol.
Actually, little Wendy lost worse than the previous Democrat who ran for governor. She lost by more votes than the previous Dem candidate.
Now, that may mean better to you, but that isn't reality.
Not better than previous elections. Lol.
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.
Maybe it is just your thinking about Texas that is messed up?
I doubt it, you're the ones who keep electing people like Cruz.
Why not just say what you really mean--we keep electing Republicans and Democrats are tired of it?
Nice to know you can read my mind. /s/s/
Until the creation of the Tea Party I voted across the political spectrum but, after they decided to turn the Congress partisan with their rhetoric of the Left this and, the Left that I decided that until the Republicans who support that kind of partisan politics didn't need to hold office so, I've been working on getting them out of politics, of course the people on the left, the far left, jumped on the band wagon and, now we have a real problem,
and, those in the middle have to choose who they support more, in this case, with Trump, I choose America over him.
Like I said--just mad that the GOP is still winning elections.
Oh well.
That is where I am. Previously I had voted for both parties, usually split ticket. But since the 2010 Retard Takeover, I have voted against the GOP 100% (and given their direction will continue to do so into the future).
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.
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.
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.
Lol so true!
