A University of Texas poll shows Republicans John McCain and Sen. John Cornyn leading by large margins in Texas. McCain leads Obama with a 51 percent to 40 percent margin. Cornyn, a first-term Republican from San Antonio, leads Rick Noriega, a state representative from Houston, 45 percent to 36 percent. Another 14 percent of voters remain undecided in the contest.
This survey also has another interesting find: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Barack Obama is a Muslim. This is an unusual find because national polls show that just 5 to 10 percent of Americans still believe Obama is a Muslim.
The telephone poll was conducted by the Texas Politics Project and Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin. The poll was conducted from Oct. 15 to 22, and had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.
