Second Reading Podcast: A look at female voters in Texas as Democrats reach out to women in Chicago
August 22, 2024 | By: Texas Politics Project

Jim Henson and Josh Blank consider the "gender gap" in Texas elections based using some baseline data from the Texas Politics Project poll archive on the attitudes and partisanship of female voters in Texas, and  talk about new Texas polling data from the University of Houston and Texas Southern and some themes at the Democratic National Convention.
