Abbott’s favorables have taken a decent hit during Covid but they could rehabilitate by election time but he has never been crazy popular.
The top lines are not bad: 47% of Texas registered voters approve of the governor’s overall job performance, while 40% do not — a 7-percentage-point spread. But in June, the spread was 10 percentage points. In April, it was 24 points — when the governor had just started reacting to the pandemic and had favorable ratings from 56% of voters and unfavorable ratings from 32%. One year ago, the governor’s good grades were 24 points higher than his bad ones; two years ago, it was 20 percentage points.
Not holding my breath though. Would love to see Beto as Governor but I agree with the sentiment he would run an amazing campaign, raise ridiculous money and then lose because is still Lol Texas.
Edit: By the time they have another election in Texas they’ll probably reintroduce poll taxes and literacy tests and the new Supreme Court will overrule precedent and say that’s ok because reasons.
I’d feel better if he didn’t say he was going to into peoples homes and take their guns. Hell something like 50% of democrats are gun owners and thats probably higher in TX
I quite like Beto and think he’s a good candidate for most positions except probably President. He was awful in the wide field debates but I’ve heard him do interviews and he’s great to listen to when he just one-on-one. His gun-grabbing may permanently handicap him in Texas, even if he drops the platform, but I do think he has potential for governor or another run at the Senate.
Also I realize now that whenever someone takes a last minute vacation during the cold months to a warm weather destination it should be called “winterizing”.
“Me and the wife are going to winterize in the Bahamas”.
That’s what’s so funny about this. The republicans are eager to be findommed not by some hot chick but by ted fucking cruz. And it’s going to happen to all of the united states next lol.
