Biden is leading in Texas! So the polling of the polls tells us -- specifically, a Dallas Morning News/University of Texas at Tyler poll of close to 1,000 likely voters.
"The poll showed Biden with the support of 48 percent of likely voters, compared with 45 percent for Trump," Politico reported today.
By now, at least 40% of all registered Texans have voted, and there's still another five days to go till early voting ends. We've all heard that tons more Democrats than Republicans are voting by mail, but we haven't heard that the Democrats dominate early voting. (At least I haven't.) So maybe our country's prospects are looking up.
About three-quarters as many Texans have voted already than the number who voted in 2016. Add to that about 240 who voted over the course of five hours at the location where I hung out with Sri's mom and ample "Sri for Congress" and "Biden/Harris" signs.
A good day at the polls feels like a festival, and this one was about halfway there. About 50 feet away was Trever Nehls, candidate for Fort Bend sheriff and twin brother to Sri's Republican opponent for Congress. We were having a conversation with the poor schmuck representing Sri's opposition when some old guy wobbled by on a bicycle and said "Go Trump!'
In the spirit of the day, we waited till he was out of earshot before saying "And then keep going, and don't ever come back!"
