State Capital Highlights From Mike Cox Polls and Projections
Texas polls show Governor Perry leading Sanchez by about 20 percent with 25 percent undecided. Dewhurst and Sharp trail slightly from March while undecideds exceed a third. Gramm seat contest is tight with Comyn and Kirk five points apart, margin near error. Voter support for a $1-a-pack cigarette tax rises to 69-74 percent among parties. Legislative changes loom on home insurance rates. The Texas prison system case ends and redistricting appeals die. Democrats likely lose control of the House.
