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.
