Quote: For the four previous months, McCain has led by nine. His new 54% showing is also his highest ever since polling on the race in Texas began in the spring. Forty-four percent (44%) is also Obama�s best showing to date. Now just one percent (1%) of Texas voters say they are undecided. Seventy-two percent (72%) believe McCain will carry the Lone Star State on Election Day, but 20% think Obama will win the state�s 34 Electoral College votes. Jimmy Carter in 1976 was the last Democratic presidential candidate to win Texas. McCain is supported by 91% of Texas Republicans and four percent (4%) of Democrats. Ninety-four percent (94%) of the state�s Democrats and nine percent (9%) of GOP voters back Obama. McCain leads by 14 points among unaffiliated voters. The Republican leads among male voters by 19 points and among women by four. Hispanics favor Obama to McCain 54% to 42%.

Quote: Senate Race Cornyn (R) 50 (48)
Noriega (D) 44 (44)
Adams (L) 2 (n/a) Those trendlines are deceiving. They are from May, but Noriega's campaign headed south soon afterward. Rasmussen has been one of the few pollsters surveying this race. On August 21, they had the race at 52-38. Then in late September, it had closed to 50-43. This poll confirms that the race remains close, within single digits. Cornyn is at 50 percent, so he's where he needs to be. It's up to Noriega to knock Cornyn off that perch. Noriega has gotten a great deal of recent help from Hillary and Bill Clinton, both of which are raising money and campaigning for Rick. If Hillary could help spur the kind of turnout in southern Texas that she got in the primary, Noriega would have a serious chance. Hopefully she can come through. And with a tightening race, the DSCC is stuck with a tough decision -- do they play? Texas is an expensive state, with something like 18 media markets, costing millions. Yet on the flip side, they have a real opportunity in a ridiculously good environment to take out Cornyn before he's too entrenched in that seat. Of course, when it comes to dilemmas, that's the good kind to have, but it's one that must be resolved soon. We're down to two and half weeks before Election Day.
