65% of Texans think the state is on the wrong track. A majority don't want the abortion ban, and they wonder if their electric grid is up to snuff.

well,
unless you are planning on a move, why bother,
the Texas voters will figure it out -
Texas folks have common sense, something nobody in CA, IL, NY has. Leave them alone and they will work it out. Your 65% number is probably bogus and like all the polls today is flawed. Did it consist of legally registered voters? Doubtful.Comment

Been sorta worried about Abbott for a while. Not sure how Texas ended up with this grid mess but it will make or break Abbott, I believe.
My gut says 'Beta' is as crooked as his daddy and daddy in law combined, with Bill Clinton's hind leg thrown in for dessert.Comment

Beware, Texas now has a slew of Democrats who fled California.
Democrats are too dumb to figure out why they left Calif and they'll
probably vote democrat.Comment

Blowin' in the wind.....
The Dem dream of a blue or at least purple Texas continues unabated.
The fact is Gov. "Grabbit" leads Robert Francis O'Rourke by about 6 points. About the same Margin George W. Bush beat "Ma" Richards by in '94 ushering in a near generation of Republican dominance in Texas. "Grabbit" is a weaker candidate than Bush but then O'Rourke is weaker than Richards.
In the last election the Dems were waxing lyrical about how they were going to take back the Texas State House, well that didn't work out well, did it?
If you want to make headway in Texas, Togor, your side better start nominating a better class of candidates.Last edited by Art; 07-26-2022, 05:12.Comment

Art everyone knows the GOP will probably win the Texas gubernatorial election.
And the point I was trying to make, your comment actually reinforces. Thank you for that, BTW!
That point is, when it comes to actually governing, the Texas Taliban leave a lot to be desired, even in the eyes of their subjects.
Can governing unwisely cause them to lose power, if it goes on long enough? I have no idea. I'll leave that guess to you!Comment

Texas Taliban? To describe the ruling clique?
I didn't invent it. And they earned it.
But back to topic...
A comparative poll like this needs a reference. Here's one from California. There the feeling is also running towards "wrong direction", and I suspect many states feel this way.....sort of the vibe of the country, whether you live in a conservative or liberal state.
But the gap is about 10% more optimistic in California than in Texas. Imagine that....Californians feel better about California than Texans feel about Texas at the moment.

Thanks RED
as you know, the Taliban, ISIS or ISIL or even Al Queeda are groups that thrive on single minded thinking, as in believe in what I believe or basically we will kill you,
they also have a habit of destroying history (monuments etc)
so, for one to call our Texas members that may have voted against Roe or similar, is a bit hypocritical,
especially considering the pro side has been supporting Antifa and similar destructive, I mean peaceful, protesting groups, ,
also funny to me that Texas is not that much more restrictive than Wisc,, when you look up the stuff on line, there was a nice chart of state by state, done in color,
Tex was one shade darker than Wisc,
so once again togor is wrong,Comment
