Two recent polls in Texas show the Presidential race tightening as election day approaches. According to the latest polls conducted, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is within striking distance of President Donald Trump in the traditionally Republican state.
The polls, conducted by the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas/Texas Tribune, show Biden trailing Trump by only 3 to 5 points. This is a significant shift from previous polls that showed Trump with a larger lead in the state. The tightening race in Texas has raised eyebrows as the state has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976.
Political analysts believe that changing demographics in Texas, including a growing Hispanic population and an influx of younger, more liberal voters, may be contributing to the shift in the polls. Additionally, Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and recent unrest over racial injustice have also played a role in the changing political landscape in the state.
While Texas is still considered a Republican stronghold, these polls indicate that the state could be up for grabs in the upcoming election. Both candidates are ramping up their efforts in Texas, with Biden recently announcing plans to spend $6 million on TV ads in the state.
As the race heats up in Texas, both campaigns are focusing on key issues such as healthcare, the economy, and racial equality. With just weeks to go until election day, it remains to be seen whether Biden can make history by turning Texas blue or if Trump will maintain his hold on the state.
