Few Texans Shedding Tears at Bloomberg's Decision Not to Run For President
In the Februrary 2016 University of Texas / Texas Tribune Poll, neither Democrats nor Republicans had strong positive views of Michael Bloomberg, and many voters had no opinion, suggesting little familiarity with the New York business man and former New York City Mayor who has now ruled out an independent presidential candidacy. Nor was Bloomberg especially well-regarded among conservatives of any stripe. Among those who identify as extremely conservative, 52 percent thought he would make a terrible president. By comparison, only 20 percent of extremely conservative Texans expressed the same judgment about Donald Trump -- even though both are from New York. Speaking of that classification system, only 8 percent of the extremely conservative thought Ted Cruz would make a terrible president.https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/future-performance-president-donald-trump-february-2016#conservatism
