As early voting commences in Texas, fresh data indicates that both the state’s governor and Senate races are intensifying. A survey conducted by Nexstar Media and Emerson College shows that the competitive landscape for these pivotal statewide offices is shifting as the election approaches.
Texas Senate and Governor Races Heat Up Ahead of Early Voting
Great news for democracy. Closer races mean candidates actually have to pay attention to what voters want instead of coasting.
Nexstar and Emerson are usually reliable, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Let’s wait for the actual turnout numbers.
Early voting starts today. With margins this close, every single ballot is going to matter incredibly much in the final count.
Is anyone else surprised by how tight these races have become? I thought the trends were more settled by now.
Finally, some real competition in Texas. This poll suggests the days of easy wins are over for both parties.
