Almost half — 49% — of likely Texas voters would vote for former President Donald Trump, while 40% would back President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, according to a new Emerson College/The Hill poll.

The poll also covered hot-button issues affecting the nation:

  • 8% said they will vote for someone else and 3% said they were undecided who they would vote for.
  • 39% said the FBI's raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate makes them more likely to support Trump in 2024, compared to 31% who said it makes them less likely to support him. Thirty percent said it makes no difference.
  • 56% disapproved of the job Biden is doing as president, compared to 37% who approved.
  • 40% said the economy is the top issue, followed by 16% who said abortion access is.

The poll was conducted Sept. 20-22, and surveyed 1,000 likely voters in Texas. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.02 percentage points.
