Half of Texas Republicans say they won't get COVID-19 vaccine, new poll finds

[speak easy]

Nearly half of Texas Republican voters say they do not plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, according to new polling released Thursday by Quinnipiac University.

All told, pollsters found, about one-third of Texas adults said they do not plan to get vaccinated, whereas about 70 percent said they have already received or are planning to get inoculated.

Pollsters found “sharp differences” in views on vaccines among political parties, with about 30 percent of independents saying they’ll forego vaccines and 13 percent of Democrats saying the same.

Texas counties that are more rural and were likely to have voted for former President Donald Trump have generally lagged more urban counties, such as Harris County, when it comes to vaccine rates.

[tanyev]

16. This is where elected Republicans and party leaders should be begging their voters

to get vaccinated so they can keep voting for them. Oh well.

[milestogo]

18. They are practicing voter suppression on themselves.

Fine with me.

[duhneece]

19. My only concern is a mutation after the Delta variant

… that is deadly to the vaccinated

[DFW]

21. Well, that should bring us closer to flipping Texas blue.

Thanks, guys! We appreciate it. It doesn't make up for decades of gerrymandering, but it's a start!
