I’ve seen 50 ads for Bobby Frank (all on streaming sites so how effective can they be?) versus none for the Gov - so he doesn’t seem to be too worried.

And “Beto” calls himself “Beto” to try to pander to the big Mexican-American and other Hispanic voters of Texas. That should also impress the liberals of Austin.

It is Quinnipiac which means Abbot is up by ten or more.

6 points ahead is is nice, but 16 points ahead would be better insurance against the Dem cheating. And there will be attempts at Dem cheating to some degree. It’s baked in the cake.

53 is 15.2% greater than 46. Abbott is ahead by 15.2%, not 7%. Is this correct?
Math teachers, your comments?

The Hill, carrying water again. Leads by 6 points? More like sixteen if they were being honest.

It’s a Quinnipiac poll. In 2018, they had DeSantis and Scott both losing by 7 on the eve of the election. Both of them won.

No Q poll should ever be taken seriously after that miss.

If even they can’t show Beto ahead (not a single poll has) it’s long over.

The point difference and percentage are 2 different things, they both can be right. He is up 7 points which according to you is a 15% difference. A candidate that wins 66 to 33% would win by a 100% according to your approach, which would confusing, misleading and effectively a useless statistic.

Well if democrat loving Quinnipiac has him up by six, that means he’s really ahead by double digits...

You mean to tell me that 46% of Texas voters are dumber than a box of rocks? I don’t believe it!

Fifty-three percent is a good number, a majority are already lining up with Abbott and that makes it harder to get them reversed.

Thsi[oll result, if even the slightest bit factual, would demonstrate a disastrous state of civic affairs in the great state of Texas...

Maybe allowing all those migrants from CA and New England are nails in the coffin...
