In June, the poll showed a 47-33 margin. With a three percentage point margin of error in the poll, the changes are insignificant, analysts said. This tells me Phil Gramm is absolutely stagnant. If he can't get a majority of Texans to say they will vote for him with seven weeks left, he's in big trouble. Gramm is leading in all parts of the state except for Central Texas where he is tied with Morales.
Morales has a wide margin of support from minorities.
They don't like what Victor Morales says, but they do like what Phil Gramm is. The poll shows that Texans really don't know much about the issues in the U.S. Senate race. Thirty percent said they didn't know what the most important issue was in deciding which candidate to support for the U.S. Senate. Eighteen percent listed character or the quality of the candidate and 11 percent said the economy and deficit. These results just reinforce the point that people are making generic decisions about what will help Texas most overall.
