New results, a poll of likely Texas voters Oct. 16-19, show Abbott leading O’Rourke, 52%-43%, with only 4% undecided in the upcoming election on Nov. 8.
AUSTIN, Texas — Updated results from an exclusive Spectrum News/Siena College poll show Gov. Greg Abbott and the entire Republican slate for Texas statewide office continue to maintain their lead over Democratic challengers, led by a well-funded gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke.
“Our feel of the race at this point is that much has not changed amongst Texans,” said Professor Don Levy of the Siena Research Institute. “It appears as though Abbott has a favorable lead, and that O’Rourke has not moved into it.” Levy describes Abbott’s lead as “sizable and steady.” Republicans continue to side with Republicans. Democrats are still in the corner of top Democratic candidates.
Voting across party lines is not common in Texas, even though straight-ticket voting has been eliminated. Spectrum News/Siena College poll results in other states do indicate a greater willingness to cross parties. For instance, popular Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has a double-digit lead in his race. The U.S. Senate race in the Buckeye State – between Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan and Republican author J.D. Vance – is currently 46%-43%, with Ryan in the lead.
