These are just polls, so vote!
Hopefully these trends will inspire people in states that have been consistently red that a flip this election is possible!

She was a democrat along the same lines as LBJ. And a Texas Democrat, so very moderate by today’s standards.
But she was well loved, respected, and surprisingly, did accomplish a decent amount, including prison reform, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, significantly improved the educational system, etc.
But her big black mark was signing the anti-homosexuality act into law, even though she campaigned against it as Mayor.
Still, after her came George W. Bush, so in my mind, she was the last good governor Texas has had in almost 30 years.
True enough.
Better than we had when I lived in Illinois, where all the governors seem to end up as the target of federal investigations or prosecutions.
