Check theIf that poll was limited to Austin then we could extrapolate a Paxton landslide victory. Austin is more like California than Texas.

Fun fact
It is a statewide poll

It's a poll I never heard of, what's their track record?

100%

They did a poll and reported their results. They accurately reported their results 100%

Ahh, still playing cute.

You're failing at it, but you do you.

Just don't ever take a Statistics course and try that with the professor.

I'm trying to help you. Think about this:

Your problem is of your own making.

Bad poetry won't change the fact that you pointed to the poll as if it was important.

But keep at it, you've proven Quant is not your field, nor Literature. Eventually by process of elimination we'll learn what your degree is in!

Check the forum: Religion & Politics. Dead Brit Poetry, especially that no longer quoted by living people, is right out.

So, Reading Comprehension is out for you, which means no Auditing or QA.

You're approaching Talarico-level irrelevance, you know.

The poll claims that Talarico is winning 25% of voters who backed John Cornyn in the Republican primary. How is that possible?

[T]hese aren't persuadable swing voters. They're Democrats who crossed over into the open primary specifically to help Cornyn, and they're now coming home to vote for Talarico in November. They weren't even going to vote for Cornyn in the general election if he'd won.

It is when others are reporting that Talarico has a big lead and when one remembers that these polls generally overstated the Dem strength. The reality is that Paxton could win in a landslide. This is more believable the more voters learn about how strange and radical Talarico actually is.

"James Talafreako is openly admitting his only path to victory in ruby red Texas is eliminating voter ID and allowing illegal aliens to vote"

Translation: he cannot win without election fraud. The Dems know they cannot win without fraud and it's not only in Texas. Most won't be quite as open about it.

Uh, OK. So your argument is that the polling is wildly inaccurate? I'll buy that it might be off by 3-4 points (see Trump polling that was about that wrong), but it is very unlikely that it is off by 10 points. And this isn't a US election where narrow margins in every state can lead to an electoral college landslide. It is literally a popular vote, so the polling is a reflection of the actual tally that will be used to select the victor. Paxton may win, but I don't think it will be a landslide.

Both parties seem to be in the "hold my beer and I'll show a REALLY flawed candidate!" mode.

---

A 2 point lead five months out is a big deal. All of Paxton's flaws are in the public domain. Cornyn spent 150 million telling everyone that Paxton was the devil.

The public is just now starting to learn who Low-T is. As such, he is at the high water mark. His polling numbers will only go down the more the public learns about his ridiculous ideas.

---

Cornyn spent $150 million REMINDING pretending everyone that Paxton was the devil. I just spread the hate.

Agree. Except: the Left has no problems with the scandals on their side. They will go out of their way to cover it up. They always do until it becomes untenable such as Joe Biden after the 2024 debate. They are still covering up for the Clintons, Barack, Kamala, etc.

I would add to that much what we would consider scandalous - is just perceived as normal behavior to them.
