Incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is leading challenger Beto O’Rourke (D) by 5 points in Texas’s upcoming gubernatorial race, a recent poll showed.
Abbott had the support of 48 percent of Texas voters compared to O’Rourke’s 43 percent in the poll from Quinnipiac University conducted from June 9 to June 13.

that's a landslide in today's politics.
Every Republican has to fight against constant lies of commission and omission from 99% of the far-leftist “media” regarding their own and their opponent’s record. It is amazing that any of them win.
will this make the 3 or 4th time Irish Beto loses something?
LMAO
Only 5 points. I’m not fan of RINO Abbott, but maybe there’s a lot of unenthusiastic Texans that explain the only 5 points.
Beto will indeed get the 43% of the vote this poll shows.
Has fox called it for beto yet?
Come on!
How could the 43% support hypocrite Robert???
Not to mention that pur side has to fight agaisnt the rinks In the party too. They get hit from all directions.
I hope the RATS believe these lies, its the only way they’ll keep throwing money at it and not into more competitive races. If the say it’s really a blowout then a lot of campaign workers get let go and money is redirected elsewhere. Watch to see how much is being spent and that will tell you what the polls really are saying.
Abbott won in 2018 55%-42%. It is disappointing to see Beto within 20 points. Abbott is a solid but uninspiring gov. He has governed though some major disasters which aren’t really his fault, but will take some of the blame for: the winter power outages in 2021, the Uvalde shooting. He is lucky Biden is so unpopular. With the probable red wave, he should win comfortably.
Wow, Abbott lost 14 Points in one day! Actually, it’s time to get Hollywood to open their wallets.
Abbott could improve his number today by calling a press conference and announcing that he’s putting the Texas Rangers in charge of investigating what REALLY happened at Uvalde and why law enforcement and possibly others ran interference for the psycho killer for 78 minutes.
I don’t like Abbott at all, and I’ll vote for him. I do finally have the courage not to vote for lesser evil at Federal level. Finally woke up to neo-con big gov’t R’s like Lindsey and Mitch are worse in the big picture than Marxist Dems, but I’m not there at the state level.
Yes it is, but it shouldn’t even be close in Texas. Abbot is weak, he was DC’s bitch on covid, the border, China, green energy, globalism, pedophiles in the schools, and January 6.
He tries to follow DeSantis, but does it late and at about 70%. He’s slightly better than Cornyn. He should be 10 points above where he is.
I have a hard time believing the gap is only 5%. I want to see some more polls.
Or, maybe, it's just another rigged poll that oversampled Democrats.
Abbott will win by double digits.
From the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute , LOL
Because they don't like Abbott's stand on the border crisis and the shooting in Uvalde is still fresh on the people's minds.
