Via the
pollsters at Fabrizio, Lee & Associates:
The
polling data reveals troubling signs for the GOP's electoral prospects, with
Republican voters opposing Governor Abbott signing SB3 into law by a
significant 44% to 31% margin. This internal party division could prove costly
in future elections, particularly as Republicans have traditionally relied on
unified support from their base.
The
political damage extends beyond Governor Abbott, with the hemp ban making
voters less favorable toward the Texas State Legislature by a devastating
51-point margin. Among voters aware of the ban, 57% report being less favorable
toward the Legislature, while only 6% view it more favorably — a nearly 10-to-1
negative ratio.

The latest
via KVUE
TV in Austin:
A man has
been arrested after the Texas Department of Public Safety identified a
“credible threat” toward legislators attending Saturday’s “No Kings” protest at
the Texas Capitol.
A DPS
trooper arrested the suspect in La Grange, southeast of Austin, KVUE Senior
Reporter Tony Plohetski confirmed. The threat is no
longer considered active, a spokesperson for DPS said.
The
Capitol and Capitol grounds were evacuated around 1 p.m. “out of an abundance
of caution.” Just before 4 p.m., the Capitol grounds were reopened.
“DPS has a
duty to protect the people and property of Texas and is continuously monitoring
events occurring today and their impact on public safety across the state,” DPS
said. “DPS will collaborate with all local, state and federal law enforcement
partners to ensure the safety of our citizens and state property, as well as to
protect individuals exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and free
speech. As with any incident response, the department adjusts its operations,
including personnel and resources, as needed to address potential and emerging
threats.”
