From the Dallas Morning News:

AUSTIN — Former Vice President Joe Biden has regained a narrow lead over
President Donald Trump in Texas, after wooing more independents and
Hispanics, according to a poll released Sunday by The Dallas Morning
News and University of Texas at Tyler.

Biden’s lead among likely voters is 48%-45%, within the poll’s margin of
error.

“Texas remains a tossup because of the public’s attitudes toward
President Trump,” said political scientist Mark Owens, who directed the
poll.

In September, 32% of Texans said they had no confidence in Trump’s
ability to keep communities safe from the coronavirus pandemic, Owens
noted. Today, 44% voice that sentiment. Trump, though, still has the
advantage as the candidate Texans believe would handle the economy best.

Biden, who was 2 points behind Trump among likely voters in The News and
UT-Tyler’s September survey, edged slightly ahead of the president this
month by expanding his support among independents and grabbing a better
than 3-to-1 advantage among Hispanics.

The former vice president’s rebound from last month, when Trump led
among likely Texas voters, 48-46, is sure to boost the already high
spirits of state Democrats.

Trump's biggest hope is there are a lot of voters out there who won't
admit they are voting for him to a stranger on the phone but in the
voting booth, they can't bring themselves to vote for Biden.
I don't have a dog in this fight. I know my lady is going to lose and
I am OK with that. My conscience will be clear, no matter who wins.


There seems to be a significant number of Trumpsters "out there" who are
ashamed to admit it and therefore admit their racism, hatred of women,
hatred of the United States, and everything else the horror side of
Trumpism is.

Spin it however gets you through the night but the operative words are
"Significant number" who may not show up in a poll.
I am ambivalent at this point. I am done with the Trump experiment but
I am also not sure if I am in a hurry to get back to someone who
hasn't done much constructive in his 47 years in DC.
Biden speaks like he is coming in with new ideas but if so, where were
they for the best part of the last half century?
