UT Texas Politics Project Poll: Abbott leads Beto by 6 points
The poll also shows a record high percentage of Texans believe the state is on the wrong track; majorities oppose outright ban on abortion
James Henson, Director of the Texas Politics Project at the
University of Texas at Austin, wrote:
“The results from several
items on abortion and guns illustrate that state policies pursued in these
areas by Texas Republicans in the 2021 legislative session remain at odds with
the views of a majority of Texans, including large
shares of Republicans. In a result consistent with years of previous polling on
the subject, only 15% of Texans agreed that “abortion should never be
permitted,” including only 23% of Republicans.”
