Texas voters aren’t OK with the state GOP’s redistricting scheme, new poll shows

Texas Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting push isn’t popular with the state’s likely midterm voters, a poll released Monday shows. Indeed, the survey of 1,921 likely midterm voters found that 62% oppose allowing the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature to redraw the state’s political maps, with 51% saying they strongly oppose. Meanwhile, just 31% of respondents support letting state lawmakers rejigger congressional representation.
