“Donald Trump currently has the lead over Kamala among Texas voters with 49% to 44%, respectively, but a recent spike in enthusiasm among Democratic voters could signal a shift, according to a Sept. 6 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll. The recent poll found that 79% of democrats were either extremely excited or excited about voting in the 2024 election, which represented an 18% increase from June.”

Why this is important:
Most polls showed Cruz winning over Beto by as much as 10%.
When there was actual voting Cruz won by about 3%.
Harris could WIN Texas if all Texans votes. Not just be 3% but by a blowout.
But it requires ALL TEXANS voting.
We need to send a big FUCK YOU to Trump and Texas Republicans.
Because Texas is not Red. It’s Blue. We need to vote and show the assholes the door.
@feloneouscat I've been saying for years that this is the first election in decades where Texas can realistically flip blue. Beto was a very outside chance and performed well, but he was early. Right now, we're somewhere around the tipping point. By the next state election, we should be slightly over the tipping point.
Granted, margin of error here is large.
I had the graph somewhere, but I think I lost it when I wiped my PC.
The only reason Texas has stayed red is voter disenfranchisement and disengagement.
They make it harder to vote and make people feel like their vote doesn't matter.
If we get folks to the polls in record numbers, we'll flip the state.
@feloneouscat
I so, so want this to be true, to happen.
I would also love to see the Texas state government turn blue. Here's hoping.
I hear Wendy Davis is out there campaigning for Harris. Great lady.
@feloneouscat
The problem in Texas and Florida and several other red states is that the ruling régime has used its power to silence and intimidate any potential majority opposed to it, so that some people are deprived of the right to vote, others are afraid to vote, and others have been convinced that their vote doesn't make a difference.
Changing that means changing people's entire concept of what is possible.
