A Glimpse into Texas Voters in the 2024 Election

As the 2024 election looms closer, a recent study conducted by the University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs and Texas Southern University’s Barbara Jordan – Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs provides valuable insights into the voting behavior of Texans.

The survey, initially conducted between June 20 and July 1, reflected Texas voters’ sentiments before President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race. A follow-up survey from August 5 to August 16 captured evolving voter preferences.

Prior to Biden’s exit, the initial survey indicated that 49% of likely voters in Texas favored Donald Trump, while 40% supported Biden. Fast forward to the recent survey, the gap has narrowed with 49.5% leaning towards Trump and 44.6% towards Vice President Kamala Harris.

Further analysis of the data reveals interesting trends. Men appear to favor Trump, with 56% of male voters in Texas supporting him, while Harris leads among women, capturing 50% of female voters. Additionally, younger voters, particularly Generation Z, show a preference for Harris over Trump.

When it comes to the U.S. Senate race, the survey suggests a close contest between Ted Cruz and Colin Allred, with marginal leads in different demographics. Cruz garners more support from men, while Allred has a slight advantage among female voters.

Latino voters in Texas appear evenly split between Trump and Harris, highlighting the diverse opinions within this demographic group. To delve deeper into the survey findings, you can visit the official website.
