Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumBiden would beat Trump in Texas 48% to 44%.
As you might expect from the match up numbers,
Biden leads the Democratic field in Texas with 30% support,
followed by O'Rourke at 16%,
Sanders at 15%
and Warren at 11%.
The remaining 18 candidates included in the survey failed to crack 5%.
It's worth noting, too, that 60% of Democrats polled say they would rather O'Rourke run for senate (in 2020) against Sen Cornyn (R) than stay in the presidential race.
The scenario suggested by the early polling, that 2020 could be at least as good a year for Texas Democrats as 2018, could have deep implications for Texas' state politics as well. "If Donald Trump continues to pull the Republican Party down and the Democrats nominate a really strong centrist candidate and the economy begins to decline, we could see a Democratic majority in the Texas House," Rice University political scientist Mark Jones.
