Most of you don't realize that Texas being a wholly Red state is pretty much a recent phenomenon, like since the mid 90's, and the transformation didn't really have that much to do with the state as it did with a few main players and the Republican party. Didn't work out all that well, Texas had been wholly Democratic or nearly so for more than 100 years, and it just might be that you are seeing the beginning of a transformation back to center. Think most are going to find out that the majority of people don't like a political system that goes to the extreme in either direction, but one that stays pretty much to the center and one that works!

Is it really difficult to figure out that these polls are conducted in areas that have a higher percentage of democrats than republicans?
It doesn't mean schit. TX will stay red.

My cousins who live in Texas (Red) tell me that the majority of the people in Texas are Democrats. But that the Latinos on the average don't bother to vote.
Trump has pissed them off this year and thus the swing back to blue.

Also what might come to a surprise to most here on this site is that California was mostly a Republican state until the 90's, except for the WW2 years, mostly voted red up to 1990.

Don't believe the polls yet. Wait at least a week before they adjust themselves. Even then, they might still be wrong. In 1980, 3 days before the election, the polls had Carter up by 9.

Just saw on the news where the polls only have Trump up by 3 points in Texas. Now, I'm not in Texas, and certainly don't know the political atmosphere down there. But, here's my thoughts.....polls are wrong, good possibility.....election is rigged, could be.....illegals are voting for Hillary, very good chance......Texans are becoming more liberal, I wouldn't want to believe that. Personally, I believe the polls are wrong, and that they are being skewed in order to make people believe that Trump has no chance of winning, in order to help Hillary. I do believe that Trump has very little chance to win, but I also do not believe that Hillary Clinton is as popular as we are being led to believe. Your thoughts on Texas? these "polls" are all liberal BS... This is the most corrupt election in American History... The democRATS are desperate, and have been since day one, with Bernie Running against Hitlery... Trump scares them, as he would destroy their parade and their 90 mph goal of The New World Order...

Phil Roger is right, and you are dead wrong.Texas will never be the "current shade of blue". Partly because of the Carpetbagger Republicans during Reconstruction, Texas is by nature a Conservative Democrat State. Since there is no place for Conservative Democrats, we vote Republican, but there are damn few actual "Republicans" in our State Government, and since we don't have any Democrats, they are counted as "R.s".
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

If you wanted to construct a GOP presidential candidate who would doom the Texas GOP long term you couldn't create one better than Trump. He acts like he is still running in the primary. Very little outreach to independents. Conservative democrats, who he seems to be targeting don't exist anymore in Texas. Not to mention majority of youth in Texas aren't Caucasian You have just touched upon the real problem for the entire GOP.... Too many in the Trump Base see a huge rally as proof that Trump has a massive amount of support but what they fail to recognize is those folks are solid Trump supporters and there are no new ones out there. Trump Rallies are like High School Pep Rallies...The stands are filled with the faithful but no one else is going to show up. Choose to see what you want but the facts are Trump will be very lucky to rack up 160 electoral votes thus a land slide to one of the weakest DEMs in history... OOPs, guess you were wrong.
