Just weeks before early voting begins in Texas, Republicans at the top of the ticket appear to be holding off Democrats, according to a pair of polls of likely voters released on Thursday that found nearly all of them had made up their minds in a tight presidential race.
The polls — by Quinnipiac University and the New York Times/Siena College — are the latest to indicate the state is gearing up for the closest presidential race in decades, though Trump’s lead is larger in the Quinnipiac poll than others that have suggested the race is essentially tied.
President Donald Trump led former Vice President Joe Biden 50-45 in the Quinnipiac poll. The poll surveyed 1,078 voters between Sept. 17 and 21. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
Most likely voters in Texas — 52 percent — disapprove of Biden, while just 41 percent approve of the former vice president. Texans are more split on Trump, who drew approval from 49 percent as 47 percent disapprove of the president. Ninety four percent of voters say their minds are made up in the presidential race.
