Harris, Castro and Warren each won the support of 41 percent of poll respondents in potential match-ups against the president in the poll, though against Castro, a San Antonio native and former mayor, Trump won only 46 percent of the hypothetical vote, compared to 48 percent against the two senators.
Biden and O’Rourke are the only Democrats with favorability ratings above water in the poll, with Texas voters who were surveyed approving of Biden by a margin of 48 percent to 38 percent and O’Rourke by a margin of 44 percent to 40 percent.
The rest either had largely negative favorability ratings among a majority of Texas voters, or had little name recognition.
“Former Vice President Joe Biden has the highest favorability of any of the contenders and has a better net favorability than President Trump,” said Peter Brown, the Quinnipiac poll’s assistant director. “Former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke also does relatively well on favorability and in a matchup with Trump, but that may well be due to O’Rourke being a home-state favorite.
“But former Housing Secretary Julian Castro, who is also a former San Antonio mayor, does not do as well as O’Rourke,” Brown added.
Quinnipiac’s poll surveyed 1,222 Texas voters between Feb. 20-25.
