Joshua Blank

Tiger is producing.

Earlier today on the show, we visited with Dr. Joshua Blank of UT Austin.

And their polling department, the Texas Politics Report, and they came out with their latest polling on Texas' big statewide races.

Think U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, controller, attorney general, all of those sorts of things.

or the biggest lead was Tallarica with a three-point lead over Paxton.

So that will give you an idea of how tight things are.

And we visited for a few minutes with Dr. Joshua Blank on what in – what he and his pollsters are finding as they talk to Texas voters.

So here is that conversation from earlier today right here on NewsRadio KLBJ.

And a recent campaign finance report shows Rosenthal actually raised about $48,000 more than Beau French between July 1st and September the 24th.

Even so, Joshua Blank with the Texas Politics Project tells CBS Austin that he doesn't think that that means Rosenthal is going to easily walk away victorious over Fresno.

Even

though Rosenthal has done something impressive here in out-raising his Republican opponent, it's still a major uphill battle for

either because they don't know what he said or they don't care what he said.

But looking at the numbers, I don't know.

I think Rosenthal, I agree with Joshua Blank there.

He's still got a long road to go.

But that's only part of the picture.

Joshua Blank is a research director for the Texas Politics Project at UT Austin.

He says Hinojosa used Abbott's delayed focus on her to her advantage.

Hinojosa took the, the space that Abbott gave her in the summer and really went hard introducing herself to Democrats, and that's really been important for her, and it's really what's made the race more competitive in a lot of ways.

But that's only part of the picture.
