Trump, Biden locked in tight race in Texas, poll says

The survey, released Wednesday, compares to another Q poll in early June when the race was equally tight and voters backed Trump 44 percent to Biden’s 43 percent.

In Wednesday’s survey, Democrats backed Biden 94 percent to 3 percent, independents backed Biden 51 percent to 32 percent and Republicans supported Trump by 89 percent to 6 percent.

“With crises swirling through American society and a country deeply divided, there’s no other way to slice it. It’s a tossup in Texas,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said.

Trump holds a clear lead when it comes to handling the economy, but Biden holds a solid edge when it comes to addressing racial inequality. On health care, handling a crisis, and response to the coronavirus, the candidates are tied or essentially tied, according to the poll.
