#LyceumPoll: US Senate Race Close; Statewide Republicans Have Wide Leads, Including Gov. #GregAbbott, Lt. Gov. #DanPatrick [#TXPolitics 24/7]


The 12th Annual Texas Lyceum Poll, conducted from July 9-26, 2018, is being rolled out today, and Republicans will surely be happy with the results in most races.

For  governor, among likely voters, Gov. Greg Abbott’s lead has grown to 16 points, with 47% expressing support for the incumbent Republican Governor to 31% for Democrat Lupe Valdez.

For Lt. Governor, among likely voters, Dan Patrick’s leads with 39%, with 29% expressing support for Mike Collier.

The US Senate remains a tight one, as Sen. Ted Cruz battles the first strong Democratic challenger for a statewide race in decades. Among likely voters, the margin between Cruz and O’Rourke is unchanged, with 41% expressing support for the incumbent Cruz, 39% expressing support for O’Rourke.

For TX Attorney General, among likely voters, incumbent Republican Ken Paxton leads Democrat Justin Nelson 35% to 25%, obviously with a large chunk of the electorate undecided or uninterested in this race.

A majority of Texans say that things in the US are off on the wrong track (53%), compared to 34% of Texans who say that things are moving in the right direction.
