The Latest Political Poll: What Texans Are Saying

Exciting results from a recent political survey are shaking up the conversation in Texas. The University of Houston and TSU schools of public affairs have just released the findings, and the data is shedding light on some unexpected viewpoints.

The survey, conducted in June and involving 2,257 participants, was presented at the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s State of Hispanics Data Summit and Business Expo. One of the key highlights is the strong minority support for vouchers in the realm of school choice.

Dean Jim Granato from the Hobby School of Public Affairs elaborated on this, stating, “The attitudes toward school vouchers show that about two-thirds of Texans support it, with the Hispanic population showing even stronger support. Black Republican support for school choice stands at 80%, while Black Democrats are slightly lower but still show significant backing. It’s clear that minority populations in Texas are in favor of school choice.”

In addition to the school choice discussion, UH and TSU also unveiled results from a new survey on the upcoming presidential election. Vice President Kamala Harris has significantly narrowed the gap with former President Trump compared to when he faced President Joe Biden. According to Professor Mark Jones from Rice University, Harris has managed to reduce Trump’s lead from nine points to five points, indicating a more competitive race in Texas.

Furthermore, the survey delved into the U.S. Senate race in Texas, revealing that incumbent Republican Ted Cruz holds a slim two-point advantage over Democratic challenger Collin Allred. With 1,365 respondents participating in this part of the survey, the results provide valuable insights into the upcoming election.
