Former Vice President Joe Biden tops former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) among Texas 2020 primary voters, a new poll released Tuesday shows.
Biden placed first with 27.7 percent, while O’Rourke finished second with 19 percent — a roughly 9 point difference — among 1,033 registered voters surveyed between August 1st and 3rd. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) notched third place 15.7 percent, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) came in fourth with 13.7 percent. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg ranked fifth, receiving 7.2 percent. The poll was conducted by Emerson College on behalf of the Dallas Morning News. Roughly 400 Democratic presidential primary voters were surveyed with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9%.
The survey concluded prior to the El Paso, Texas, shooting which saw 22 lives claimed and 26 more injured. O’Rourke left the campaign trail to return to the city, his former district, where he has since blamed President Donald Trump for the tragedy, repeatedly accusing him of being a white nationalist. He has also said the president is not welcome in El Paso, despite the president’s plans to visit this week.
“I would prefer the president not come to El Paso. This is not just my preference. I’ve been listening to people. Importantly, I’ve been listening to the victims and their families,” O’Rourke told reporters Tuesday.
O’Rourke, who has polled dismally since launching his bid for the White House in March, stands at just three percent in the latest national Politico/Morning Consult poll. A New Hampshire Democrat presidential primary poll conducted for the Boston Globe shows O’Rourke at 0 percent.

9 points from Zero is still just 9 points.................
Beto is so done here in Texas. LOL
Puto O’Rourke is a worthless turd.
Hope Beto keeps struggling along.
O’Rourke is an idiot. Anybody could be leading him.
Only?
And that shows you how low Beto is.
I don’t care about their IQ measurements
It would be really great for the San Patricio Battallion guy to get nominated.
The twerp would go down in a sea of red. Trump wouldn’t even have to leave D.C.
Biden has this wrapped up. I have to believe he will want a female as a VP and one not from New England like him. That leaves only Tulsi Gabbard or Kamala. He might just pick kamala to help with the Black vote.
Clavarle un tenedor
(That’s “stick a fork in him”)
The media understands this, thus the 25/7 non stop aggressive anti-Trump "news".
Our dog is beating Bob........
Castro’s candidacy is based on the reality that many Hispanic citizens do not vote. If Castro can motivate them to vote, then he has value as a candidate.
So where is Castro of San Antonio in this poll? Where are all his Hispanic voters?
It is a long time to Primary day. Biden has a habit of speaking blunders. One of them is likely to kill his political future.
Unlike some candidates, he is not bullet proof. Remember, he ran for president before, when he was just moderately old. He did not fare well down the stretch in those races. History can repeat itself.
No doubt, but he'll beat this group of hate filled freaks and get the nomination.
