In case you missed it, the University of Houston today released a statewide poll showing broad support for school choice, particularly in rural areas.
This includes “62% of Texans living in rural counties supporting vouchers for all Texans.” As the report states, “Texans living in rural areas of the state are significantly more likely than Texans living in urban areas of the state to support giving all Texas parents tax-funded vouchers they can use to help pay for their child’s private school tuition.”
Additionally, the poll found that “61% of Texans support the provision of state tax credits for individual and corporate donations to help all Texas parents send their children to private or religious schools.”
Furthermore, “53% of Texans support a policy which would provide tax-funded vouchers for all parents in Texas, which they can use to help pay for their children to attend private or religious schools of their choice.” This includes:
- 65% of Black, 54% of Latino, and 50% of white Texans support vouchers for all Texans.
- 60% of Republicans, 59% of Independents, and 44% of Democrats support vouchers for all Texans.
- 62% of Texans living in rural counties, 53% living in suburban counties, and 50% living in urban counties support vouchers for all Texans.
