The Second Choices of Pete Buttigieg Supporters in Texas Polls
March 01, 2020 | By: Jim Henson

Pete Buttigieg's suspension of his presidential nomination campaign has piqued the curiousity from Texas observers and reporters to the second choices of Buttigieg resopndents in Texas polling, which tend not to be included in default cross tab files.  Rice University's Mark Jones of Rice is a principal in the team that conducted the the Hobby School of Public Affairs poll (along with Renée Cross, Jim Granato, and Agustín Vallejo), and tweeted their Buttigieg second choices shortly after the Buttigieg news broke. To save interested folks some time, here are Buttigieg second choices from that poll and the February University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll. Per the table, field dates overlapped some in February, with the usual noise of ongoing events to be taken into consideration. (And if you're involved with any of the other polls that have come out in the intervening period, feel free to email us and we'll add your data with a link to your poll, too.) 

3/1 8:22 pm update: added PPP/Progress Texas data per Tweet from Progress Texas Message Development...guy Ed Esponoza.  

3/2 5:24 update: added Univision/CMAS/UH poll per Tweet from Brandon Rottinghaus (h/t Jonathan Tilove, too).
