Texas Votes 2024

Will Texas remain a Republican stronghold in 2024? With 40 U.S. Electoral College votes on the line, Texas is a must-win state for the Republican Party to regain the White House. Who is leading in the presidential race in Texas, and what issues are influencing voters’ decisions? Meanwhile, with control of the U.S. Senate up for grabs, the Democratic Party hopes to capture a U.S. Senate seat in Texas to hold on to their majority. And Harris County, the nation’s third largest county, has a number of positions on the ballot – will Democrats continue their county-wide dominance? To answer these questions and more, the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston conducted an online statewide survey of likely voters in Texas, with an oversample of Harris County voters, between Sept. 26 and Oct. 10, 2024. The statewide survey was fielded in English and Spanish with 1,329 YouGov respondents, resulting in a confidence interval of +/-2.69%. The respondents were matched to a sampling frame based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, education and partisanship, and they are representative of the population of Texas registered voters.

The Texas Votes 2024 study includes four reports. The first report focuses on the statewide races for president, U.S. Senate and the Texas Railroad Commission, along with issues influencing vote intention and candidate favorability. Forthcoming reports will cover Harris County elections, election integrity and administration, and attitudes about electricity infrastructure and distribution in Harris County.
