2. I just wonder who they are polling?

These polls could be used to tamper voter Enthusiasm siam for Beto. Why vote for him If he’s gong to lose type of attitude? Or maybe the repukes can steal the election by not counting votes and saying see Abbott won because of the polls. I don’t live In Texas so it must be something In the water eating brain cells.

3. This poll is only for registered voters, not likely voters

Plus, the polling ended on September 13, a day before the flights from Texas to Martha's Vineyard.

Let's see the numbers after that is included. And from LIKELY voters.

4. This doesn't count newly registered voters. There are A-LOT of them.

Also I have voted in every election since I could vote. I’ve never once been polled, and I actually do have a landline.
