- At UT Arlington Wednesday, Democrat Beto O'Rourke praised students for registering to vote and urged them to make their voices heard at the ballot box in November, just as he said students across Texas did four years ago.
A new Quinnipiac University poll of 1,327 likely voters gives two-term incumbent Republican Greg Abbott with a seven percentage point lead over O'Rourke, 53% to 46%.96% say they've made up their minds, while 3% said they could still change their minds. "In 2018, I became the first Democrat to win Tarrant County since 1994 and we did it with young people like those who are here at UT Arlington right now," O'Rourke said."They were on no one's radar; they were reflected in no one's poll. They came out and shocked this state."
