THE GOVERNOR'S RACE TIGHTENS: GINA IN DEAD HEAT WITH ABBOTT

Fox News 7

The Texas Governor's race is a dead heat

Fox's polling showed a dead heat in the governor's race.

Abbott supporters made up 50 percent of those polled, while 49 percent of those polled said they supported Hinojosa.

The poll shows a closer contest than a poll from Texas Public Opinion Research, which showed Abbott held a three-point lead.

The poll surveyed 1,006 Texas registered voters and was conducted by Beacon Research and Shaw and Company Research. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

The Brief
James Talarico leads Ken Paxton 51 percent to 48 percent in a new Fox News poll of Texas voters.
Gov. Greg Abbott and Democrat Gina Hinojosa are virtually tied, 50 percent to 49 percent.
Both races remain within the poll’s 3-point margin of error, with many voters open to changing their minds.
A new poll from FOX News shows Democratic candidate James Talarico with a slight advantage over Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in a contentious Senate race that remains extremely close as November inches closer.

Talarico leads Paxton in Fox News poll

In the poll, conducted July 23–26, 51 percent of those polled said they planned to vote for Talarico in November, while 48 percent put their support behind Paxton.

The numbers are closer compared to a poll published earlier this week by the Texas Public Opinion Research that showed the Austin Democrat with a five-point lead.

The Fox News poll showed plenty of room for a shift in support for both candidates, with 19 percent of those who said they would vote for Talarico open to the idea of changing their mind, while 22 percent of Paxton supporters said they were open to changing their support.

While both candidates garnered strong support as candidates, at least a third of voters on either side said they made their choice as a vote against the other candidate.

Nearly half of voters polled (47 percent) said they felt Talarico was too extreme to serve as Senator, with 25 percent saying they were "extremely concerned."

More than half (59 percent) of those polled said they felt Paxton lacked the moral character to be a U.S. Senator, with 33 percent saying they were "extremely concerned."

TEXAS will NEVER elect a MEXICAN for governor; TEXAS is smarter than the MORON population of the Rio Grande Delta…

If Beto couldn’t beat Abbott doubt Gina will.

Why exaggerate, Monty?

Abbott leads Gina by a good 12 points. You know it, too.

MAGA will not vote for Hinojosa.

Okay, so we know that the great Orange businessman knows absolutely nothing about military strategy (let alone military history), so my question is, where and to what significant degree is the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other military leaders? DESPITE being the Commander in Chief, a president is not expected to be a military strategist. In many other countries, heads of state (as opposed to heads of government) are ceremonial commanders in chief; clearly this is the role that the American president should have. Leave the military strategy to the military experts, not narcissists who think they are everything that they aren‘t!

Never mind that shit, Mango

Iran is disputing Orange Trump's claims that it's re-entering negotiations with the U.S. after Trump called off an apparent powerful attack. Meanwhile, lawmakers are growing frustrated by the lack of information about the conflict. Let's go to reporter Jerry "El Paya" McHale who is downtown and has more. . .

TRUMP manipulating the war narrative manipulates the stock market. A form of insider trading. Trump is profiting like a sumbitch. . .

Hinojosa has little to no chance. Talarico's race is a true horse race.

Gina just isn't telling me why she's better. She'd be different, that's all.

Frankie Olivo says that polls are propaganda by the candidates. He is right juan. You are just a propaganda machine for Gina La Gallina. No mames juan

Todd Blanche is a criminal that is involved in Trump's sex scandal garbage, as well as covering it up. He adds absolutely no business in any government position or being an attorney of any kind American people are sick of this corruption. Wake up.

Soy Ampayer del Beisbol said...

Every time he starts and stops attacks, Trump ups his count of number of wars he ended.

LIAR.

This is like what Trump's 100th warning toward Iran now. TACO Trump. I voted for this dude but he is coward. Enriching himself while you continue to suffer. This guy is full of shit.

All American workers should fill out a new W4 form requesting tax exemption.

If Orange Trump and his crime family don't have to pay taxes no one should.

Gina Hinojosa will end up with a load of campaign money. That's what this is about. Sad.

Trump has been a criminal for years. Capital One closed 300 of his accounts due to money laundering. Trump claimed it was a political move on Cap 1's
part. MAGA will still vote for him and defend his lawlessness.

NEPO BABY & a Socialist! Hope Gina and Talarico cry all the way home on election night

If I was Congress I'd propose a bill right now to buy Trump out of office for 3 Trillion dollars. No strings attached, just leave office here's 3 Trillion.

It's good practice to sever a necrotic limb, to save someone's life. Same goes for the continuity of government, Trump is that necrosis.

I totally agree. The ignorant Mexican population can keep dreaming.

We need to ask Gina how she plans to fund her wish list. Everything on her wish list will cost tax payers. Typical of the communist party.

Is this the reason all other presidents refused to confront the issue of the terrorist regimes?

We need to pay for this war from Iranian oil. This should be done before any reconstruction.

Instead of making it political, you make it racist. . .lay off the White Boy Tea, Bitch!

What does Abbott have to do with the price of gas? oil is a global commodity that is traded internationally, with prices influenced by global supply and demand dynamics. It plays a central role in the global economy, affecting energy, transportation, and manufacturing sectors. As for pedophiles what the hell are you talking about? Your mental illness has you all over the place. Get some help!

All millionsires/billionaires need to pay their fair share. We' re in need of serious yet fair tax reform. But apparently it's not beneficial to our politicians since they're all millionaires or billionaires.
