President Trump's support in Texas is at a statistical tie with several potential 2020 challengers, including one who has already announced a bid, according to a poll released Thursday.

In the Quinnipiac University survey of Texas voters, Trump gets the support of 47 percent respondents in hypothetical match-ups with former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who received 46 percent, 45 percent, and 46 percent support, respectively, from voters in the poll.

Each of those hypothetical contests fall within the poll's margin of error, 3.4 percentage points. In addition, Trump sits within single digits of other announced 2020 Democratic challengers in the poll, including former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro and Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.)

Lmao it's Texas. I would take this poll with a grain of salt especially since we're so far from the Election.

This is good news. Texas is slowly becoming purple and I am so happy.

It has been for a while. In pure numbers at least. But gerrymandering causes the Republicans to somehow keep winning. They stay there. I can't stand it.

Beto lost by only 2.5 points. In a state where there should have been no contest. Ted Cruz was desperately campaigning in a state where he should have won by a landslide. 

Purple Texas is a realistic thing that could happen in the next decade or so if the trend continues. 

Trump won Texas by less than other Republicans by 9 points. It could be by less in 2020.

Especially with a lot of young people reaching voting age, a Purple Texas is very much a real thing. I so hope that within the next few years we can turn it over.

And if we can make Texas competitive, that would force the gop to spend resources in a very expensive stage to win, which would make it easier to win the senate.
