NBC News/Marist Poll of 2,882 Texas Adults How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: NBC News/Marist Poll of 2,882 Texas Adults This survey of 2,882 adults was conducted February 23rd through February 27th, 2020 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with NBC News. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state were contacted on landline or mobile numbers and interviewed by telephone using live interviewers. Survey questions were available in English or Spanish. Mobile telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the state from Dynata. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Mobile phones are treated as individual devices. After validation of age, personal ownership, and non-business-use of the mobile phone, interviews are typically conducted with the person answering the phone. To increase coverage, this mobile sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of landline phone numbers. Within each landline household, a single respondent is selected through a random selection process to increase the representativeness of traditionally under-covered survey populations. Assistance was provided by Luce Research for data collection. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2017 American Community Survey 5-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results are statistically significant within ±2.2 percentage points. There are 2,409 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±2.5 percentage points. There are 1,050 voters in the potential Democratic primary electorate. The potential Democratic primary electorate in Texas includes all voters who prefer to vote in the Democratic presidential primary and those who identify as Democrats or Democratic leaning independents without a primary preference. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±3.7 percentage points. There are 1,118 voters in the potential Republican primary electorate. The potential Republican primary electorate in Texas includes all voters who prefer to vote in the Republican presidential primary and those who identify as Republicans or Republican leaning independents without a primary preference. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±3.6 percentage points. There are 556 likely Democratic primary voters and 621 likely Republican primary voters defined by a probability turnout model which determines the likelihood respondents will participate in the 2020 Texas Presidential Primaries based upon their chance of vote, interest in the primary election, and past primary participation. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±5.3 percentage points and ±5.1 percentage points, respectively. Tables include results for subgroups with a minimum sample size of 100 unweighted completed interviews as to only display crosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. It should be noted that although you may not see results listed for a certain group, it does not mean interviews were not completed with those individuals. It simply means the sample size is too small to report. The error margin was adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.

  • Texas Democratic Primary Election Survey 2020
    TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION SURVEY 2020 The Race for the U.S. Senate Nomination 1 Texas Democratic Primary Election Survey 2020 The Race for the U.S. Senate Nomination The University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs conducted an online survey among likely Democratic primary voters in Texas to identify the leading candidates for the Democratic nominees for president and U.S. senator, opinions of salient policies and approval ratings of key national and state politicians. The survey was fielded between February 6 and February 18 with 1,352 YouGov respondents, resulting in a confidence interval of +/-2.7%. The results of this survey will be presented in three separate reports. The first report found at uh.edu/hobby/texasprimary2020 focuses principally on the vote intention in the Texas Democratic presidential primary election. This report focuses on the vote intention in the Texas Democratic senate primary election. A third report will examine the position of Texas Democratic primary voters on a range of policies, especially related to the Green New Deal and health care, and the evaluation of national and state politicians. The 2020 Texas Democratic Senate Primary Occurring in the shadow of the Democratic presidential primary is the 2020 Texas Democratic senate primary. The survey data reveal several dynamics within the race: between half and three-quarters of Texas Democratic primary voters know little to nothing about the 12 Democratic senate candidates, there almost certainly will be a runoff, one of the candidates in the runoff will be MJ Hegar, and any one of up to a half dozen Democrats could join Hegar in the May runoff.

  • Texas Lyceum Poll, Former Vice President and U.S
    Texas Lyceum Day 1 Executive Summary Executive Summary of Texans’ Views on the 2020 Democratic Primary, the Economy, Statewide Leaders, and the Most Important Problems Facing the U.S. and Texas Joe Biden leads the pack of potential Democratic Primary voters with Bernie Sanders running close behind. These two candidates garner a majority of the potential Democratic Primary in Texas as we approach the Iowa Caucuses and the official commencement of the primary season and the 2020 Election. The race for who will take on incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn in November is far from settled, with none of the 12 candidates receiving more than 11% of the vote of the Democratic Primary electorate. Asked whom they might pick if the November Election were held today between President Trump and Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg, respectively, the president holds a lead ranging from 4 to 8 points over each of these potential nominees, with Sanders polling closest to the president among likely 2020 general election voters. With the impeachment trial in progress, Texas adults were split before the beginning of the trial over whether or not the U.S. Senate should remove the president from office, with large majorities of Republicans saying that the president should remain in office, and large majorities of Democrats saying that he should be removed. The President’s job approval remains under water among Texas adults, with 52% disapproving of his job performance compared to 47% who approve. Governor Greg Abbott fairs better, with 63% approving of his job performance compared to only 34% who disapprove.
