Texas has an open primary, so Independents and Republicans can vote too. People canvassing are consistently hearing either Trump or Beto as who they support and Beto is up 38% over Trump (even with Republicans and Independents). This canvassing is being done not just of Democratic voters but ALL voters. None of the other candidates (even Castro) are getting any significant mentions at all.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Trump is less popular than Cruz in Texas Indygram Jul 2019 #15

They're afraid of all candidates who could potentially beat Trump Hortensis Jul 2019 #22

It could be that Beto is stronger than polls indicate as you say, but that doesn't mean... thesquanderer Jul 2019 #14
