ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll

The Texas Poll

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll is a new public opinion research initiative dedicated to delivering trusted, transparent, and methodologically rigorous insights into what Texans think about the issues shaping the state today.

Who We Are

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll is a public opinion research initiative presented by ReconMR, Siena Research Institute (SRI), and the Texas A&M University Bush School of Government & Public Service.

Our mission is to provide credible, nonpartisan polling and public opinion research that reflects the voices and perspectives of Texans across the state.

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll combines decades of survey research expertise, rigorous methodology, and advanced data collection operations to deliver high-quality public polling that informs public conversation and decision-making.

Built on the same nonpartisan standards and research rigor that made the New York Times/Siena Poll one of the most trusted and highly ranked polls in America, the ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll provides regular, reliable snapshots of public opinion across Texas, including demographic, geographic, and voter subgroup analysis.

Why the ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll Was Established

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll was established to create a trusted source of Texas-focused public opinion research grounded in transparency, methodological integrity, and editorial-quality reporting.

At a time when public trust in polling depends on openness and accuracy, the ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll is committed to:

  • Conducting high-quality public polling
  • Providing clear and transparent methodology
  • Delivering accessible public opinion insights
  • Supporting informed public discourse
  • Giving Texans a reliable snapshot of statewide attitudes and priorities

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll is designed to help journalists, policymakers, organizations, and the public better understand the attitudes, concerns, and priorities of Texans.

Research Methodology

The ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll seeks to establish the ‘gold-standard’ of consistent polling in Texas. Drawing from its Siena Research Institute’s Siena New York Poll as well as the New York Times Siena Polls, the ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll uses rigorous, design, sampling and data collection methods to ensure accurate, reliable and transparent results.

Through the November 2026 election, the ReconMR/A&M Texas Poll will interview a representative sample of Texas likely voters drawn from L-2’s database of registered voters. All interviews are conducted via telephone by trained professional live agents.

In order ensure representativeness and curtail the design effect of weighting the sample is stratified by and drawn to promote participation by region, age, gender, education and vote history. Final weighting not only iteratively uses known demographics including region, age, gender, race/ethnicity and vote history but includes a blending of computed and stated vote likelihood.
