Talarico leads both Cornyn and Paxton: Public Policy Poll

[DFW]

6. Lots to consider here

First, Texas Republicans DO cheat. It’s why they are so strong in Texas, not because we all love them.

Second—what was the size of the poll sampling? Remember that widely celebrated poll that showed Crockett leading Talarico in the primary by something like 56-44? People were cheering and jubilating even though the poll sampled only 369 people in a state with 5,000,000 Democratic voters. That’s like going to Chernobyl, finding a rock that doesn’t make a Geiger Counter click, and then, based on that one rock, declaring the whole of Chernobyl free of contamination.
