  • Baselice Poll – Dan Patrick Vs David Dewhurst
    Opinion Research for Decision Making in Politics and Public Affairs ________________________________________________________________________________ 4131 Spicewood Springs Road Office: 512-345-9720 Suite O-2 email: [email protected] Austin, TX 78759 [email protected] March 7, 2014 TO: Conservative Republicans of Texas FR: Mike Baselice RE: Texas GOP Primary Survey Findings The following are key findings from a telephone survey conducted March 5-6, 2014 among N=501 randomly selected Republican primary voters in Texas who are likely to participate in the May 27, 2014 Republican primary run-off. Respondents were reached via landline (80%) and cell phone (20%). The margin of error to these results is +/- 4.4% at the 0.95 confidence level. All percentages are rounded to the nearest whole percent. Key findings are: 1. With 55% on the run-off ballot test, Dan Patrick is very well-positioned to win the Republican primary run-off for Lt. Governor of Texas. David Dewhurst is at 34%. 2. Among the two-thirds of the voters who indicate they are certain to vote in the May run-off, Patrick leads 59% to 32%. 3. Among the four out of five respondents who participated in the recent primary election, Patrick leads Dewhurst 60% to 31%. Note: Four out of five voters who participated in the July 2012 Republican primary run-off participated in the May 2012 primary. Therefore, the proportion of respondents in this survey who plan to return and vote in the 2014 run-off is in line with recent Republican primary turnout figures. 4. At 63% to 30% respectively, Patrick has a commanding lead over Dewhurst among the respondents who participated in the 2012 Republican primary run-off election.
