Could Texas turn blue? The state hasn't gone for a Democratic president since Jimmy Carter, but lots of political stories are taking note of Donald Trump's slim lead in the polls over Hillary Clinton. The gist of most: Trump is still expected to win, but it's going to be close. Some coverage:
- Trump is up by just 3 points in the latest poll from the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune. The breakdown is here.
- One of his biggest problems this year in the state? Suburban Republican women. NPR takes a look.
- Another Trump problem? Latino voters. "Trump’s potential effect on Hispanic turnout is at the heart of Republican worries," observes Politico.
