New polls show Trump's lead growing in Texas

[uawchild]

Source: Dallas News

A pair of polls released Thursday indicated that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has expanded his lead in Texas with just five days to go.

A joint poll from NBC News, The Wall Street Journal and Marist College put Trump up over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton 49 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in Texas. Libertarian Gary Johnson garnered 6 percent in the poll, and 2 percent of respondents said they are voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Trump’s lead shrank to four points among the larger universe of registered voters in Texas, at 45 percent to 41 percent. But pollsters tend to attribute more precision to the likely voter tally, which takes into consideration whether the respondents say they are planning to vote or have in past elections.

Among those likely voters, 54 percent said they have already cast their ballots in early voting, and Trump led that group by 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent.

Note: I am typing the word "poll" into google and posting polls from the NEWS results that have not yet been posted to Late Breaking News. Check this yourself to see what polls were listed.
===================================

Info on the two Pollsters:

Emerson College is rated B by 538 with a R+1.3 bias.

Marist College is rated A by 538 with a R+0.7 bias.


If you are in Texas and wish to get involved with Get Out the Vote efforts to turn Texas blue, one starting point would be the Texas Democrats website:

http://act.txdemocrats.org/page/s/volunteer

There's information there on volunteering and how to get involved and how to contact people for more information!

Would DU-ers in Texas be able to provide any additional information on how to get involved locally? Thanks.

1. fevered dream

that was a long shot to begin with and I never bought into it. MSM sensationalized it and knew better. Way more concerned about our blue states,FL, and NC

2. Gee a red state is red

Hmmmm.

[mondonhill]

3. exactly

Utah also hype, GA close but don't see it happening-way more concerned for NH flipping red

[obnoxiousdrunk]

4. Did you use the same methodology ?

Type "poll" in Google and hitt Enter.

5. Yeppers.

Just like I did for the previous 3 Hillary surging polls. lol

It's silly to have to repeat that "type "poll" into google and see the NEWS results" constantly, but it calms down the worst of the detractors claiming its rigged.

12. Wow, That's Uncanny

[uawchild]

13. lol n/t

[LiberalPersuasion]

6. Not an Interesting Poll

Not sure why this was posted, as Texas was never a viable pick up. Also, wouldn't it be better to post more than one state poll and not focus on one, as one toll really doesn't tell us much? But an aggregate of one state's most recent polls would much more illustrative of trends, if any.

9. A belated welcome to DU.

[redwitch]

10. Don't care. She doesn't need Texas.

Someday Texas may turn blue but it was never going to be this day.

11. That's Ok--We'll get Texas eventually!

14. Polls are nothing more than Polls.

Only actual votes count. Monday night Former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, President Obama and First Lady Michele Obama will be live on stage in a rally at the birth place of our democracy, Philadelphia. It will be televised. Don't under estimate the last minute effect this will have on voter turn out Tuesday. VOTE!

16. "We don't care about red state polls..."

The royal "we", or do you have a mouse in your pocket? lol

Pardon the attempt at humor.

Sorry, but other posters in the thread seemed interested enough to post and discuss it. To each their own, eh?

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

17. try going blue

[uawchild]

18. Do you mean post polls about blue or battleground states also? I have been.

You don't have to be interested in every poll, you don't need to feel obligated to read posts about polls that seem irrelevant to you.

Shrug.

I am sorry this poll bored you. I have posted many others conducted in blue and battleground states, perhaps some of those are more your cup of tea.

Cheers.

19. Well after tommorow

lets revisit that shall we. As the #opdrop hits Orange Hitler.

[redstateblues]

20. When I clicked on this somehow I knew it would be you

I wonder how?

[sherlocksistah]

22. me too and I'm new here

but just today all I've seen are all these negative polls from the OP. Gosh!

[uawchild]

24. Care to apologize now?

Or after reading all the polls that came in showing Hillary is suring in the latest polls -- polls that I also posted, just as I posted this one.

You don't have to like all the polls' results, but impugning my motives just because a bad streak of polls came in one day is both rude an juvenile.

I post them as they show up in the NEWS results for googling on the word "poll".

Go read all the good Hillary polls I posted and perhaps see it in your heart to apologize.

Enjoy your morning.

21. TX was always a pipe dream.
