Republican margins in Texas have been shrinking since at least 2014. Abbott won by 11 points in 2022, which was down from 13.3 points in 2018, which in turn was down from 20.4 points in 2014. Cornyn went from winning by 27.2 points in 2014 to only winning by 9.6 points in 2020. Cruz went from winning by 16 points in 2012 to only winning by 2.6 points in 2018. Tarrant County, the state's third largest county, went blue in 2018 for the first time since 1964.
Abbott's margins in the suburbs have consistently shrunk every cycle since 2014. Here are some exit polls:
2014: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/2014/tx/governor/exitpoll/
Suburbs went 62% for Abbott.
2018: https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls/texas
Suburbs went 59% for Abbott.
2022: https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/texas/governor/0
Suburbs went 56% for Abbott.

I knew they were losing ground in the suburbs but never saw these numbers. If the republicans continue to lose support in the suburbs this rapidly, they're cooked.
