New Texas Poll: Trump: 45% (-1) Clinton 38% (+3)

DALLAS/FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) — In a state where it is generally accepted that a GOP nominee is almost guaranteed a win in a presidential election, real estate mogul and presidential nominee Donald Trump has “under-performed” in Texas according to Pollster Brian Graham of Dixie Strategies.

In the latest KTVT-CBS 11 / Dixie Strategies Poll released Wednesday, if the election were held today, 45 percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump. About 38 percent indicated they would vote for former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. About 10 percent of those asked said they are still undecided.

Not much has changed for Trump since early August in a previous KTVT – CBS 11 / Dixie Strategies poll while Clinton has actually gained 3 percentage points. In August, about 46 percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump if the election were held at that time and 35 percent said they would vote for Clinton.

The KTVT-CBS 11/Dixie Strategies Poll was conducted on September 29 – October 1, 2016 and includes the viewpoints of 780 likely voters across Texas who were contacted and surveyed over the phone. The results include 321 Republicans, 254 Democrats and 205 others. It has a 3.51 percent margin of error.

Money they spend running ads in DFW & Houston is money they don't spend in North Carolina or Michigan.

who knows.

I would love to see Texas go blue if for no other reason, to hear the intense caterwauling on Nov. 9th coming from Abbot, Patrick and Gohmert.

Isn't he usually around 0 to 3 percent with them? Just slightly less popular than crippling diarrhea?
