More Texas voters believe Abbott does not deserve reelection: poll
The survey conducted by Quinnipiac University found that 51 percent of registered voters in Texas believe Abbott does not deserve to be reelected, compared with 42 percent who said the governor deserves a third term.
The opposition to Abbott’s reelection was up from June, when a separate Quinnipiac poll found that 46 percent of Texas voters supported Abbott’s 2022 reelection bid, compared with 48 percent who did not.
The most recent poll also found that only 44 percent of Texans approve of the way Abbott is handling his job as governor, compared with 47 percent who disapprove of the work he has done.
Those numbers, according to Quinnipiac, mark the first time since the firm started polling on the Lone Star State that Abbott’s approval rating has sunk below his disapproval rating, referred to as being "underwater."
He has maintained strong support among members of his party. Eighty-three percent of Republicans polled approve of the way Abbott is handling his job, with only 12 percent disapproving.
In contrast, 43 percent of independents and only 6 percent of Democrats gave Abbott positive marks.
