Depending on the race, TXGOV and IASEN have some wild swings from poll to poll. And no one notices cause Cooper leads comfortably, but even NCSEN has some big differences.

Texas and Iowa Senate Races Move to Toss Up; Races for Governor Also Move in Democrats’ Direction
The battle for the Senate is about to intensify ahead of the traditional Labor Day starting gun. Republicans still retain a structural advantage given the partisan challenges of the map, and Democrats still need almost every key race to break their way. But as we recently wrote, in a wave election akin to 2006, even states that President Donald Trump won by double digits could move within Democrats’ reach.

Well this confirms that Greg Abbott - who last year proclaimed that Texas was going to be the 'epicenter of AI development' after announcing a $40 billion investment by Google - is indeed afraid that data centers might cost him his re-election for #TXGov.
