A new poll of the Lone Star State finds that Texans love their Blue Bell Ice Cream, drive and like their toll roads, want more gambling and want to see Texas A&M and UT play again in football.
They also support Donald Trump over Texas’ own Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination for the presidency, and support Hillary Clinton 2-1 for the Democratic nomination.
These are some of the latest findings of the Texas Pulse, a periodic survey of Texans' opinions on a variety of cultural, economic and political issues, conducted by Crosswind Media & Public Relations.
Why poll Texas?
Texas is home to six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500, and home to 51 overall. Texas grossed more than $264.7 billion a year in exports — more than California and New York combined. As a sovereign country, Texas would be the 12th largest economy in the world by GDP, ahead of South Korea and Australia.
Texas matters, and what Texans think matters as well. The Texas Pulse is intended to provide a guide for those who seek to understand and do business in Texas.
