Governor's race between Abbott and O’Rourke tightens, according to first poll since Uvalde shooting

Gov. Greg Abbott visits a memorial at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on May 29, five days after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at the school.

“The race tightens,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a press release Wednesday. “Abbott, considered strong on leadership, slips. O’Rourke, considered long on empathy, rides the momentum of support from women and young Texans in the horse race to Austin.” Since the shooting, Abbott has called on multiple state agencies to improve school safety. He tasked the Texas School Safety Center with performing random safety audits of school buildings, called on the Legislature to convene committees to discuss legislative solutions, called for active-shooter training for school districts, and directed the Texas Education Agency to create a new school safety and security position.

TexasTribune Why would anyone with a brain vote for Beto?

TexasTribune What was the sample size? I think it was just over 1,200. So they called 1,200 people in Austin and these are the results? Liberal media spreading this crap.

TexasTribune In 2018, after the El Paso mass shooting, EVERY Uvalde Police Department officer was given Level 4 Rifle-Resistant Body Armor. TX issued Level 4 RRBA to 453 jurisdictions in TX at cost of $23 million. They were all fully protected. Why stay in the hallway for 77 minutes?

TexasTribune So, only Austin residents were polled. Got it.

TexasTribune Fake news. Abbott going to win.

TexasTribune Abbott must go!

TexasTribune Fake poll.

TexasTribune Not even close to being accurate.

TexasTribune 14 hours, 21 responses. In November Texans will tell you who we want! The Vegetable in Charge and his minions are turning blue into red. Worst team ever! 🇺🇸💋🥰💋

TexasTribune How ignorant are people to consider voting for Beto? He’s probably Biden’s nephew or something. He will ruin everything.

TexasTribune Beto is wrong for Texas!

TexasTribune I'll clue you in, Austin. My Tweets in favor of Gov. Abbott get more likes and less rebuttal than anything you say against him and I have under 1500 followers at present

TexasTribune Haha! Pure propaganda

TexasTribune Chinese Communist Propaganda Bot 🤡

TexasTribune No data points, this poll is rubbish.

TexasTribune That's Governor O'Rourke. Put some respect on his name. Thanks.

BabeTruth2 TexasTribune

TexasTribune Well this is out of Austin so I'd take it with a grain of salt

TexasTribune Baloney!

TexasTribune The TX GOP has given Beto a series of 'gifts' he can beat them with. If the TX Democratic Party can't mobilize, organize and use these to rally voters in November, they are basically useless.

TexasTribune 👌

TexasTribune Hahahahaha…..I can’t wait to vote against beto….AGAIN

TexasTribune Don’t let up!!! We have a chance…let’s take it and allow ALL of Texas to step into the 21st Century

TexasTribune It’s looking more and more that one more serious, fatal disaster caused by overlapping structural failures and personal indifference or incompetence that brings national outrage down on Texas could push Beto over the top
