Joe Biden Is Now Beating Trump In Both Texas And Georgia

Fox News polls of Texas and Georgia show that both red states are swing states with Biden holding a respective one and two-point lead over Trump.
According to the Fox News poll of Texas, Texas is a tossup, as Democrat Joe Biden tops President Donald Trump by a percentage point, 45-44 percent, in a new Fox News survey of Texas registered voters. Ten percent are up for grabs, and this small subgroup of voters is more likely to disapprove than approve of Trumps job performance by 52-34 percent
.Theres a 24-point gender gap on the head-to-head matchup, as men pick Trump by 12 points and women go for Biden by 12.
In Georgia, the situation is similar for Trump,Neither candidate receives majority support in the head-to-head presidential matchup, as Biden garners 47 percent to Trumps 45 percent. Bidens 2-point edge is within the polls margin of error and nearly one out of ten voters is up for grabs
.The shift away from Trump is almost entirely attributable to softer support among men (Trump +4 points), college-educated white men (+13), and seniors ages 65+ (+19).
If Biden won either of these states, it would mean that the election was a landslide for Democrats. Republicans in both states are experts in the dark art of voter suppression, but it is important to remember that Joe Biden doesnt need to win Texas and Georgia to win the White House.

(3,697 posts)There are enough States now in Dems hands that will make it harder for the GOP to shut down or suppress the votes enough to steal the election. I'd be nervous if we had to count on FL or GA where suppression tactics are epic.
