TribCast: UT/TT Pollster Edition 06/20/19

For a special edition of The Texas Tribune’s TribCast, Tribune Executive Editor Ross Ramsey talks to Josh Blank, Jim Henson and Daron Shaw from the University of Texas about the findings of the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll — what it found about President Donald Trump; the 23 Democrats running for president; voters’ views of the Texas Legislature and the work just completed on education, school finance and property taxes; and more.

Disclosure: The University of Texas has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors.
