Austin, Texas, July 13-. Hom-
er P. Rainey continues't'iT'tViKi in
the governor's race. But Bcau-
focd Jester last -week was emer-
ging as the man most likely to be
ui the runoff with jl c. former Uni-
versity of Texas President.
Since late June, Jester has been
the only cunclUlate fiiT ihe Donw~
era tic nomination who lias made
significant gains, gains large
enough to push Jerry Sikller out
of second. place.

j. Voters Slart Deciding:
An important development re- i
j vealed by tliis lutest poll is1 that!
during the last two or three j
j,weeks manj' people who have j
been undecided have finally be-
gun to ehopsc among the candi- j
dates. Only IH per cent would j
not name u choice in this survey, I
as compared to 31 per cent in
June and 20 per cent in May.

| Tabulations Up In Value
Since the no - opinion group
i has ceased to be the largest single
j se'gment of voters, the tabulations
j without the undecided assume
; more importance' than the one
j including the undecided. A eom-
jputation that eliminates the vo-
! ter without an opinion more
I nearly represents how Ihe candi-
dates would stand--if the election j
i were 4ie)d at this time; on elec-J
' tion day the undecidcd voter el- I
I ther makes up his mind or casts,j
.no ballot.
j N«W that The Texas Poll has
1 measured opinion three times over
a period of active campaigning,
it is possible to note the trends
political sentiment has taken:,
Rainey's Block Solid
First — Dr. Rainey's block
of votes is solid. He has
maintained a comfortable {
lead, has held on to his sup-
port, although he has been
the chief target" of most of
the other candidates He
seems certain to be one of
the two leading candidates
in the first primary.
During the last few weeks
Dr, Rainey has actually
added supporters to his
camp, although the comppr-
poll and this j>oll would-* in-
dicate he has "lost" 1 per-
centage point. The reason
his percentage did not- in-
crease this time is that the
undecided group has decreas-
ed so much; Rainey's propor-
tion but of the total who have
made up their minds is smal-
ler now than it was last
month. The same thing has
happened in Sadler's case.
Jester Ss Climbing
Second — Jester has u-
chieved a steady climb, in
which ,he has doubled his
support since jyiay. He has
become a serious threat to
Rainey, as he is only 11 per-
centage points behind the
leader. His gain of 7 points
sincc the JUne survey is the
largest that any candidate
has registered so far.
Third — John Lee Smith's
campaign, U&ied mostly on
attacks on the book, U. S. A.,
and Dr. Rainey. is undoubt-
edly tolling backwards.
Of the nine minor candidates in
ti e race, Caso March and Walter
Scutl McNutt are the qnly ones.
Receiving' at least 1 per cent
• ClV •
■ Runoff Appears -Certain
From the results of the three
surveys . to date, it appears hardly
possible for any candidate to win
with a majority in the first pri-
mary.
_ Any gains or losses of less than
3 percentage points in the tab-
ulations above are not statistic-
ally significant. In all surveys
based on the principles of sam-
pling, such as this one, a natural
margin of error must be allowed.
In tile case of The Texas Poll, the
sampling error plus all other pos-
sible deviations in five election
predictions has ranged from 1 to
3.fl percentage points. Opinions
for The Texas Poll are gathered
by personal interviewers in more
than fifty cities and towns —none
by mail or telephone. The voters
included in each poll must be
representative of the entire elec-
torate as to place of residence,
age, sex, , race,1 military service
and economic standings. Cost of
the surveys is borne entirely by
the newspapers that publish the
results. ■
