The survey further reveals Trump’s increased traction among Black and Latino voters, two groups that historically lean Democrat. Meanwhile, Biden appears to be losing ground with the youth, a demographic that played a pivotal role in his previous campaign.
Simultaneously, the Senate race in Texas is heating up with Republican Senator Ted Cruz leading his Democratic challenger, Representative Colin Allred, by six points among registered voters. Cruz, who is seeking a third term, maintains a solid lead of 51% to Allred’s 45%.
Despite Allred’s athletic background as a former NFL player and his service as a congressman, he faces a visibility challenge. The Marist poll indicates that 53% of participants are either unaware of him or lack sufficient information to form an opinion.
The dynamics among independent voters mirror the presidential race, with Cruz leading Allred by eight points. Gender differences are pronounced in their contest, with Cruz winning male voters by a wide margin of 21 points, while Allred holds a slight lead among female voters.
The political stage is set for further drama as Trump and Biden prepare for upcoming debates. Earlier this week, Trump accepted Biden’s challenge for a debate, with early voting just around the corner.
Trump’s readiness was evident as he confidently told Fox News, “Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced – he can’t put two sentences together,” and added, “Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far.”
Biden responded on X, affirming his acceptance of a debate invitation from CNN and provocatively urging Trump, “Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.”

This proposed debate format, a deviation from the traditional three debates organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates, has stirred varied reactions among Democrats. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed reservations about the format, suggesting that separate town hall meetings might be more beneficial. “I myself would never recommend going on stage with Donald Trump, but the president has decided that’s what he wants to do,” Pelosi stated, acknowledging the president’s decision while proposing an alternative approach.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the upcoming debates and election strategies will undoubtedly be key in shaping the future of Texas’ electoral votes and potentially the national outcome.
