Matthew McConaughey beats Greg Abbott and Beto O'Rourke head-to-head: Poll

In head-to-head matchups, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott leads Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke in next year’s governor’s race in the Lone Star State. But actor and Texas native Matthew McConaughey, who is reportedly weighing a bid for governor, leads them both, according to a Dallas Morning News-University of Texas at Tyler poll released Sunday. But in a three-way race, voters prefer Abbott.

The poll found that in a race between Abbott and O’Rourke, the governor led 45%-39%. But a substantial 22% said they want someone else to be governor.
