A new poll by The Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler shows former Vice President Joe BidenOE BIDENObama slams Trump in Miami: 'Florida Man wouldn't even do this stuff'Trump makes his case in North Carolina, Ohio and WisconsinBrad Pitt narrates Biden ad airing during World SeriesMORE leading President Trump by 3 points in Texas, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since 1976.

Biden is leading Trump 48 percent to 45 percent among likely voters, which is within the poll’s 3.22 percentage point margin of error.
The poll showed Biden making gains among independents and Hispanic voters.
====================================================================
I'll believe it when I see the results.
 
The poll, conducted Oct. 13-20, surveyed 1,012 registered voters. (Biden’s lead among registered voters was 46 to 44.) Of those, 925 are characterized as likely voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.08 percentage points for the overall group

This poll is basically a big nothing-burger. Biden's lead is within the margin of error.

A nothing burger?

Trump won Texas by 9% in 2016. That state is now a toss up.

Gov. Abbott will do his very best to save Trump at the polls via GOP voter suppression/depression tactics.

At any rate, Texas will morph from purple to a blue state by 2024.

Another poll, at the same time, linked to this story "
Trump leads Biden in Texas by 4 points: poll"

This type of polling is horribly inaccurate, and I think, getting worse. We probably get 2-3 calls a day, and I haven't answered on yet this year. People are sick of the robo calls, and of course many have ditched land-lines. You can't get truly meaningful data with a 2-3% response rate.

I've answered a few--and they still keep calling! Do these folks realize they're polling the same person over and over?×
