-83% of voters in the state support barring those on the Terror Watch List from
buying guns, to only 10% who are opposed. That's supported by 85% of
Republicans, and 82% of both Democrats and independents.
-Voters in the state support an assault weapons ban, 48/43. That's because
Democrats are far more unified in their support for one (70/21) than Republicans
are in their opposition to it (34/55).
-72% of voters in the state support increasing the minimum wage to at least $10
an hour, compared to only 14% who think it's fine where it is now, and 11% who
would like to eliminate the minimum wage altogether. A minimum wage hike to
at least $10 gets support from 94% of Democrats, 74% of independents, and 53%
of Republicans.
-63% of voters in the state support holding confirmation hearings on Merrick
Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court, to only 18% who are opposed to
them. 73% of Democrats, 63% of independents, and even 55% of Republicans
support moving Garland's nomination forward by holding those hearings.
Finally we covered some sports issues:
-Texas leads the state in college sports loyalty with 26% to 16% for Texas A&M,
12% for Houston, 9% for Texas Tech, and 6% each for Baylor and Texas Christian.
Both Longhorn fans (36/9 approval for Charlie Strong) and Aggie fans (38/9
approval for Kevin Sumlin) give pretty limited support to their coaches- there
aren't that many totally unhappy with them but there aren't too many thrilled
with them either. 43% of voters in the state support allowing Houston to join the
Big 12 to only 7% who are opposed to that. What's maybe more interesting
though is how fans in the state's existing Big 12 fan bases feel about adding
Houston- Texas fans support it 47/5, Texas Tech fans support it 56/10, Baylor
fans support it 67/3, and TCU fans support it 65/1. It's safe to say there's not
much resistance at least from the fans of rival schools for letting the Cougars in.
-Cowboys fans outnumbers Texans fans in the state 46/33. Tony Romo has a
39/24 favorability rating in the state but voters aren't too impressed with his
football skills. Only 30% think he is a elite Quarterback to 35% who say he is not
elite and 35% who are not sure. We also asked who people think would do the
best job at QB for the Cowboys in the year 2016 and only 28% picked Romo to
27% who picked Troy Aikman (who's 49 years old) and 19% who picked Roger
Staubach (who's 74 years old).
-The Rangers win out on baseball loyalties 44/31. Jeff Bannister has a 31/5
approval spread with Rangers fans, while AJ Hinch is at 30/8 with Astros fans.
