Texas looks a little more likely to return to its days as a blue state, a new Quinnipiac University poll published on Wednesday shows, The Dallas Morning News reports.
The poll has former Vice President Joe Biden edging President Trump in the general election by a count of 48 percent to 44 percent, which is a higher gap than the one revealed in an Emerson University poll in April, in which Biden led the president by one point, 50 to 49. It's worth noting that Biden's 4 point lead still falls within the margin of error, but signs are starting to point toward Texas becoming a more contentious battleground than it has been in the recent past.
