Greg Abbott in Danger of Losing GOP Governor Primary in Texas: Poll

I have seen several ads from Greg. These ads attack President Biden and do not attack West or the fake Rick Perry (this idiot is named rick Perry but is not the former governor) https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/greg-abbott-in-danger-of-losing-gop-governor-primary-in-texas-poll/ar-AASK1Sp?ocid=msedgntp

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is facing a potential defeat in the Republican gubernatorial primary, according to a new poll carried out for one his GOP opponents.

A Paradigm Partners poll published on Tuesday shows Abbott with just 32.52 percent support among likely Republican primary voters in the state, behind former Texas GOP chair Allen West on 38.36 percent.

The poll was conducted for West's campaign and differs starkly from other polls published late last year that appeared to show the Republican primary race was uncompetitive.

The Paradigm Partners poll was conducted among 1,486 likely Republican primary voters on January 9, 2022 and has a margin of error of +/-2.54 percent.

The survey showed Abbott's other challengers well behind him and West, with third place Ricky Lynn Perry recording 12.06 percent support.

Almost sounds like good news. But also very terrifying that Allen West could get that close to the governorship.

If nothing else Greg is going to have to burn a ton of his war chest to win this primary

to see Huffines polling so low. They're all dipshits, but for some reason, I find him to be more of a dipshit than the others.

however, if west wins, texas will drop completely down the well of crazy.

and maybe that's what this state needs to finally break the good old boys crooked lock on the state.
