New Poll: Trump Pulling Away In Texas

As other polls show that President Trump is climbing back into the race and threatening prospective Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s lead, a new poll conducted by YouGov finds that Trump has opened a 7-point lead over Biden in the state of Texas.

“The YouGov poll, commissioned by Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation and Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, surveyed 846 registered voters in Texas from August 4-13. Trump had a 7-point lead over Biden, 47.5% to 40.5%, among all voters surveyed and a 5-point lead among most-likely voters, 49.4% to 44.1%,” KXAN reported, adding, “Before the release of the most recent YouGov poll, Biden had topped Trump in four of the last five statewide polls in Texas.”
