More Texas voters said in a new poll that they would back Matthew McConaughey over Gov. Greg Abbott (R) at the ballot box if the actor were to run for the state’s leading office.
In new poll released by The Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler on Sunday, 45 percent of registered voters in the state said they would likely support the actor if he ran for governor.
By contrast, 33 percent of voters said they would still vote for Abbott, while slightly less than a quarter of respondents said they would vote for someone else.
While it’s unclear which party the actor aligns with politically, McConaughey enjoyed more support from Democratic-identifying voters in the poll than Abbott, with 66 percent of respondents from the group saying they would vote for the Academy Award winner.
Abbott drew more backing from voters who identified as Republicans than McConaughey, with 56 percent of voters from the group saying they would still support the governor if the actor were to run.
However, McConaughey also attracted more support from voters who identified as independents than Abbott in the new poll, which showed 44 percent of voters from the group backing the actor, compared with the 28 percent who said they would vote for the governor.
The poll’s results also seemed to indicate better primary chances for the actor if he were to run as a Democrat versus a Republican. Among Democratic primary voters, a vast majority — 70 percent — said they would vote for McConaughey, compared with 29 percent of Republican primary voters who said the same.

He’d be smart to run as Independent, if possible.

MM is a Democrat. Not uber liberal, but relatively liberal for Texas.

Same pollsters had Biden winning Texas by 3% in poll done 1 month before election. Sorry, can’t link with phone

He could win as a R too. As an independent you don’t risk alienating your fan base and overall popularity. You also will seem to be a advocate for everyone instead of partisan politician.

I certainly would. Abbott is the WURST.

Why? And in so doing re-elect Abbott?
He needs to run as a Democrat, get elected, and put the kibosh on the Abbott mistake.

Tells you how ducking stupid Texas is! Let’s vote for a person who knows nothings running a state and has no experience in business. Our country is so fricking gullible and dumb.

Not true. 95% of the vast land territory of Texas is very conservative. That accounts for about 230 out of Texas' 254 counties.
But where the majority of the people live--in the other 24 counties--Texas votes mainstream and would happily embrace an appealing Democrat like McConaghey. He could win easily.

The "poll" has become the most recent tool in the leftist sack to "craft the narrative".
I'd hire my Labrador before I'd hire a leftist for strategic planning.

Texas is the brokest state in America, thanks to Abbott's gross mismanagement during the record cold wave two months ago. The financial cost to the state is estimated at ~$196 BILLION, a record for any natural disaster in American history, and possibly a world record.

Let me guess, cause I won't click. Its a MSM poll that also predicted Hillary would win?

So people don't even know his platform and are deciding if they would vote for him?
