Gov. Greg Abbott will be campaigning in North Texas Tuesday morning. The latest polls show he may not need to fight too hard to keep his job.
With less than a week to go before election day, a new poll from the University of Texas at Tyler shows he is maintaining his lead among likely voters by 6 points.Early voting turnout for this year’s midterm elections remains far below the previous two elections.
Just over 17% of registered voters cast their ballot during the first week of early voting. Turnout was nearly 26% during the same timeframe in 2018 and 2020.SMU political scientist Matthew Wilson also believes O’Rourke doesn’t carry the same excitement he once did after losing his last two bids for office.
"In 2018, you had the Beto mania phenomenon. Beto O’Rourke was this fresh new exciting face introducing himself. He had a very active following. That drove a lot of people to the polls. You don't have that this time around. The bloom is off the rose of the Beto candidacy in a lot of respects. There's not as much energy and enthusiasm this time around as we did in 2018. We just don't have the high-intensity race to drive turnout like we saw the last two cycles," Wilson said.
