A Texas 2036 poll found about half of voters are open to splitting their ballots between parties, while one in six is both unaffiliated and undecided about how to vote. It also found 68% are extremely or very concerned about Texas’ future.
Baselice and Associates conducted the survey Aug. 22-26 for Texas 2036, interviewing 1,369 registered voters. The weighted results have an effective sample size of 1,001 and a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. Among unaffiliated voters who are undecided, 38% expect to split their votes, 24% are unsure, and about one in seven plans to vote only for one party.
Of 13 candidate policy positions tested, 85% of voters favored ensuring students read and do math at grade level; 83% each favored reducing health care costs and preparing high school graduates for college or a career. Reducing electricity bills and building needed water infrastructure were backed by 82% and 81%, respectively. Separately, 39% said Texas is taking the right steps to be the best state to live, work and raise a family in 20 years, down from 53% in 2020.
