TX-21: Internal Democratic poll shows tight race in key Texas House district
he race between Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) is growing tighter, according to a new internal poll from Davis’s campaign released exclusively to The Hill.
The survey, conducted by Garin Hart Yang Research Group, showed Roy with 46 percent support and Davis close behind at 45 percent support. Former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Trump in the district by three points, 50 percent to 47 percent, according to the findings.
The poll comes after Davis outraised Roy, a freshman congressman, by more than $850,000 in the second quarter of the year. Davis raised $1.4 million during the period and has $2.8 million cash-on-hand. Roy raised $544,407 in the same period and has $1.7 million cash-on-hand.
Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics moved the race from "leans Republican" to "toss-up" on Thursday. The non-partisan Cook Political Report also moved the race from “lean Republican” to “toss-up" last week. Additionally, Cook moved Texas’s 3rd, 6th, and 25th districts from “solid Republican” to “likely Republican.”
The races are an example of how the Lone Star State could be in play for Democrats in 2020.
