    Paxton’s polling and Trump comments | Huffines proactive approach is what we need – Pratt on Texas 9/30/2026

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Paxton’s internal polling shows him still in the lead but it being very close. This matches other sources on internal polling that I have heard from. This is, as I’ve said for years, a 2- to 4-point Republican margin state. Republicans will lose however, if, and only if, they do not show up to vote in big numbers. Media is exaggerating comments by Paxton, and seemingly planted in the press by an establishment/Cornyn operative, about Trump’s drag on the ticket. Things are what they are, Trump is at has lowest approval at present and the $4 plus gasoline is hurting the GOP everywhere. It’s more than eating into the GOP’s structural advantage in Texas. Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995. Comptroller Don Huffines is showing why I endorsed him for governor a few years back over Abbott. Instead of being politically reactive, as is Abbott most of the time, Huffines is proactive in moving the better government agenda. Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.
