  • Executive Summary of Economic Evaluations, Job Approval, and Trial Ballots
    2012 Texas Lyceum Poll Executive Summary of Economic Evaluations, Job Approval, and Trial Ballots A September 10-26, 2012 survey of registered voters from the state of Texas reveals that while Lone Star registrants are fairly positive about the state’s economy, they remain pessimistic about the national economy and prospects for a full recovery. Job approval and favorability numbers for political figures and groups also suggest a mixed bag. Likely voters are slightly disapproving of President Obama and slightly approving of Governor Perry. Current ballot tests indicate the pro-Republican results of recent elections in Texas may well continue in 2012: Mitt Romney leads Obama by 19 points in the presidential vote among likely voters, while Republican Ted Cruz leads Democrat Paul Sadler by 24 points in the Senate vote. The small silver-lining for Democrats is that voters remain unengaged, with between one- quarter and one-third of the electorate saying that they haven’t thought enough about the down-ballot races to have an opinion. Summary of Findings General and Economic Evaluations: We asked a series of questions about the respondents’ general and economic evaluations in Texas and in the country. Though respondents were positive about the Texas economy, their views of the national economy were very negative while their views of their own personal economic situations were also pessimistic. Forty-two percent of registered voters believe that the country is moving in the right direction, while 51% believe that we’re off on the wrong track. When limiting our analysis to likely voters, only 39% say that we’re headed in the right direction while 57% say that we’re off on the wrong track.

  • Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 the Elections
    Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 The elections are (finally) over! Last night, across the country, voters chose not just the President, but also members of the U.S. Senate, Congress, and various state and local races. Texas was no different. The Presidential Race President Barack Obama (D) defeated former Governor Mitt Romney (R) in the race for President. President Obama won at least 303 electoral votes (at the time of writing, Florida has not yet been called for either candidate) to Governor Romney’s 206, putting the President above the required number of 270 needed to win the election. Federal Races Despite the literally billions of dollars spent this election cycle on congressional and U.S. senate races, very little changed in the grand scheme of things. In the U.S. Senate, Democrats will have 55 seats to the Republicans 45, a net pickup of 2 seats for Democrats and a corresponding net loss of 2 seats for the Republicans. In the U.S. House, while a few races are still outstanding, Republicans will comfortably maintain their majority. In Texas, former solicitor general Ted Cruz (R) handily defeated former Rep. Paul Sadler (D) to become the next U.S. Senator from Texas, replacing retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R). After the 2011 census, Texas added four new congressional districts, expanding the delegation from 32 to 36. In 2013, the Texas partisan breakdown will be 24 Republicans and 12 Democrats, a change from the current 23-9 split. Next year, four members of the 2011 delegation will not return to Congress: Quico Canseco* (R-San Antonio), Charlie Gonzalez (D- San Antonio), Ron Paul (R-Surfside), and Silvestre Reyes (D-El Paso).

  • Republicans Have Advantage in Texas Senate Contest
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 20, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Republicans have advantage in Texas Senate contest Raleigh, N.C. – The Texas Senate race remains largely unformed with voters barely able to render an opinion on any of the six candidates tested. Republican Lt. Governor David Dewhurst is the only candidate on either side that a majority of voters have an opinion about, with 29% holding a favorable opinion, 31% unfavorable and 40% not sure. Even Dewhurst doesn’t have a net favorable rating, and neither do any of the other candidates – Republican former Solicitor General Ted Cruz is at 12/19 with 69% unknown, Democrat Sean Hubbard is at 6/18 with 75% unknown, Republican Craig James comes in at 9/24 with 67% unknown, Republican former Mayor of Dallas Tom Leppert clocks in at 17/20 with 63% unknown, and Democratic former State Rep. Paul Sadler’s at 7/18 with 75% unknown. Looking at head to head matchups, Dewhurst fares the strongest, perhaps not surprisingly due to his higher name recognition. He leads Hubbard 48-31 and leads Sadler 49-31 – nearly identical leads against both potential challengers we tested. The other Republicans beat their Democratic challengers by around 10 points each time, reflecting the party ID in the state and essentially becoming de facto “Generic Republican v. Generic Democrat” contests. Ted Cruz leads Sean Hubbard 39-29 and leads Paul Sadler 41-31; Craig James leads Sean Hubbard 40-32 and leads Paul Sadler 42-32; and Tom Leppert leads Sean Hubbard 43-32 and leads Paul Sadler 44-31.

He says the federal government plays too large a role in American life and is willing to eschew compromise to further his goals. He made a splash right from the start of his Capitol Hill tenure, ignoring the tradition observed by most freshmen that they should largely be seen and not heard. He set his sights on the White House early in his first Senate term. In March 2015, Cruz announced his 2016 presidential campaign at the Christian fundamentalist Liberty University in Virginia, exhorting ``courageous conservatives'' to ``rise up to reignite the promise of America.'' Earlier, he won much of the credit, or blame -- depending on observers' personal views -- for the funding standoff in Congress that resulted in a partial government shutdown in October 2013. Cruz' rallying cry was his unstinting opposition to the 2010 health-care law, which he and many other opponents derisively referred to as Obamacare. ``What he's done is strengthened our hand. He's made the case that we need to act and act decisively, and so I think we have a lot to credit him for,'' Republican Michele Bachmann, then a Minnesota congresswoman, told the Huffington Post.

Karthick Ramakrishnan provided strong advisement and support from my first year at UC Riverside. Jennifer Merolla provided invaluable guidance and feedback, especially on my prospectus and job talk. Loren Collingwood is the best mentor I could ask for. Without Loren’s support, I would not be the scholar I am today.
