Not surprisingly, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey of Texas voters finds that President Bush is ready to carry his home state and win its 34 Electoral Votes this November.

In Texas, Bush now leads Massachusetts Senator John Kerry 57% to 38%. In our last survey, he was ahead 55% to 37%. Four years ago, Bush won his home state 59% to 38%.

Texas remains safely in the Bush column for our Electoral College projections.

Bush attracts votes from 60% of the men in Texas and 54% of the women.

Sixty-three percent (63%) of Texas voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's up two points from our last survey and well above his national Job Approval rating.
