Texas voters would choose President Trump over top 2020 Democratic candidates if the election were held this month, a new poll shows.
Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary late last week, ran the closest when paired against Trump in a mock 2020 match-up, according to the Texas Tribune poll released Monday. Trump had a 6-point lead over O’Rourke, 47 to 41 percent.
