President Trump is in a dead heat with four Democratic presidential candidates in GOP-leaning Texas, according to a new Emerson College poll.

The poll, released Monday, shows Trump in close races in hypothetical general election matchups in Texas with former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Biden has the best results against Trump, garnering the support of 50 percent of voters compared to Trump's 49 percent, the poll shows. O'Rourke's results are similar, with him and Trump each getting the support of 50 percent of voters in a hypothetical matchup.

Meanwhile, the poll shows Sanders losing by 2 percent and Warren trailing by 6 percent. Both of those differences are within the poll's margin of error.

1. It's a money trap

I can see a run at Texas taking a huge chunk out of a campaign budget.

2. I didn't even think of that.

You burst my bubble. Oh well, it was bound to happen. I's rather know what we are up against earlier than later though.

3. Emerson

One thing that is important to remember about Emerson polling is that they eliminate undecideds from the final numbers. That is likely why Trump has higher support among lessor known candidates, there are more undecideds.

Without question though, these numbers should give anyone supporting Trump heartburn. If he is tied in Texas then he is probably behind in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona and maybe Georgia, Ohio, and Iowa.

5. May it be so...

in September 2020.

Although it's too far out to really be meaningful, it brings hope.
