Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden holds a narrow lead over President Trump in the traditionally red state of Texas following last week’s Democratic National Convention, according to a new poll from the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling.
Forty-eight percent of voters contacted in the state after the convention said they would vote for Biden, while 47 percent said they would back Trump on the presidential ballot, according to the poll, which was released first to the USA Today Network.
The lead is within the poll’s 3.6 percentage point margin of error.
Additionally, the survey showed that 7 percent of Texas voters who backed Trump in 2016 now support Biden, while 3 percent of those who came out for 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton now support the president.
