The Quinnipiac survey in Texas shows the candidates tied at 47 percent, after Biden closed a 5-point gap since late September.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is running neck and neck with President Donald Trump in deep red Texas, a new poll out Wednesday shows, one of the latest signs that the Republican stronghold could be in play on Election Day.

The new Quinnipiac University survey found Biden and Trump deadlocked at 47 percent among likely voters, less than two weeks out from Election Day and ahead of the final presidential debate of the cycle. The poll shows Biden closed a 5-point gap since late September, when Trump led the Democratic nominee 50 percent to 45 percent.

Another Quinnipiac poll found Biden up 8 percentage points on Trump in Pennsylvania, a key battleground that both candidates have poured significant time and resources into. Five percent of voters remain undecided in Pennsylvania, the poll found.

The survey shows a tighter race since earlier this month, when Trump trailed Biden 54 percent to 41 percent following the first presidential debate and Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis.
