No surprises in President Bush's home state of Texas.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of Texas voters finds President George W. Bush leading Senator John F. Kerry 55% to 38%. That lead is very similar to the actual results of Election 2000 when Bush won his home state 59% to 38%.

Sixty percent (60%) of Texans Approve of the way Bush is performing his job as President. Just 39% disapprove.

Data for Texas will updated again early next month. Rasmussen Reports has also recently released polling data for the states of California and Ohio. Other state polling data will be released each day this week.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for more than a decade.

This data has been compiled from a national telephone survey of 15,000 Likely Voters conducted by Rasmussen Reports from May 1-31, 2004. Each night (except Mothers’ Day), 500 interviews with Likely Voters were conducted. National results for the survey during that time frame show that President Bush and Senator Kerry each attracted 45% of the vote. State-by-state samples carry a margin of error that varies from +/- 3 percentage points to +/- 5 percentage points depending upon the state. Data for California, Texas, and New York carries a 3 percentage point margin of error. For Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, the margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points. For all other states, the margin of error is +/- 5 percentage points. In all cases, the margin of error is expressed with a 95% level of confidence. In some states, oversampling and supplemental interviews were used to obtain an adequate sample size for reporting purposes.
