  • TEXAS LYCEUM 2015 Poll – DAY
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Margaret Justus Wednesday, October 1, 2015 281-250-8253 TEXAS LYCEUM 2015 Poll – DAY TWO Trump Leads in Texas Including a 21-16 Lead over Cruz & Crowd of Other Republican Presidential Contenders; Clinton Leads Sanders by 12 and Biden by 21 Gov. Abbott Gets 56% Approval Rating; President Obama, 52% AUSTIN — An independent poll conducted by the Texas Lyceum, a non-partisan, nonprofit statewide leadership group, shows billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump leading U.S. Senator Ted Cruz by five points (21 percent-16 percent) in Texas in the 2016 Republican Presidential nominating contest. The survey also shows former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a substantial lead in the Democratic primary, but trailing in a November 2016 general election among Texas voters. “We are proud to publicly share the results of our ninth Texas Lyceum Poll with Texas’ policymakers, scholars and citizens,” said 2015 Lyceum President Jane Cummins. “We included a diverse set of questions ranging from U.S. presidential contenders to a variety of issues facing our state. We will continue to use the poll as a foundation for discussion at our annual public conferences and quarterly meetings, and readily share these valuable data to inform public policy discussions in Texas.” Trump’s support in the Lyceum Poll remains consistent with national polls across most age groups: including those 65 and older, 45 to 64, and 30 to 44, only trailing retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson by one point (22 percent to 21 percent) among potential Republican Primary voters under the age of 29.

  • Allen and Webb Close, Kaine Would Be Formidable Replacement
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 17, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Allen and Webb close, Kaine would be formidable replacement Raleigh, N.C. – If he decides to run for re-election, Virginia Senator Jim Webb would start out in decent shape in a rematch with George Allen, and would be safer against two other potential Republican nominees. If Webb decides to hang up his hat after a single term, current DNC chairman and former Governor Tim Kaine would step in and do just as well. Recently defeated Congressman Tom Perriello, however, would not. In 2006, Webb defeated Allen by about 0.3% in a surprise upset after being dragged into the race. But Webb would start off the 2012 sequel with a wider 49-45 lead. He would also top Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, 49-38, and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, 49-39. Should Webb step aside, Kaine would begin with a 50-44 edge over Allen, 48-41 over Bolling, and 50-39 over Cuccinelli. Perriello would trail Allen, 42-47, and Bolling, 41- 42, and he would only lead Cuccinelli, 44-41. The difference, in a state where they comprise almost a third of voters, is independents. Webb and Kaine lead all three Republicans by four to 13 points with unaffiliated voters, but Perriello trails by two to 15. Webb and Kaine also hold their base better and attract more Republican support.

When you couple those forces with the challenges posed by changing media consumption habits, understanding how to communicate effectively with voters is crucial,” said Pete Brodnitz, Expedition Strategies President and CEO. “We are excited to offer Democratic campaigns in the U.S. and throughout the world polling that is grounded in communications research and behavioral psychology. Our research is tailor-made to drive the development of effective campaign messages. Expedition Strategies acts as a partner in the campaigns we serve so we can help leaders achieve their governing and political goals.” Prior to opening Expedition, Mr. Brodnitz was a Partner at Benenson Strategy Group where his clients included almost all of the firm’s political candidate clients, including thirteen heads of State and government worldwide, senators, governors, members of Congress, state legislators and local elected leaders.
