A new poll is out showing Beto O’Rourke getting mercilessly crushed.

Beto was never expected to win or anything, but this is embarrassing and a major setback to the left-liberal agenda, which Democrats are loudly insisting can win more moderate-to-conservative red states like Texas and purple states like Florida.

All Beto does is talk about seizing our guns, but it turns out voters are unsurprisingly mostly concerned with Biden’s abysmal economy and the massive illegal immigrants tsunami at his open Southern border. Dallas Morning News:

University of Houston professor Brandon Rottinghaus said Abbott’s “solid and even growing lead” is a natural result of “the incumbency advantage” — his edge in money, broadcasting airtime and name recognition.

…

“People mostly are worried about the border and the economy. And when the race is about those things, Abbott’s in better shape because he’s perceived to handle those things much better.”

Indeed, Abbott’s standing on the issue has only improved as the country deteriorates even further, and Republican governors ship illegals to the sanctuary cities and states who claim to love and welcome and cherish them so much:

Abbott’s marks on the top issue he’s stressing — a surge of migrants across the Rio Grande — have improved, the poll found.

As has been the case for months, a majority of Texans approved of how Abbott is handling immigration at the Texas-Mexico border, 52% to 39%, and of many of his actions, such as truck inspections and deployment of National Guard and state police. Only a plurality of 48%, though, backed using state money to extend the border wall.

The governor’s net favorable rating for his border security push is 13 percentage points, up from 9 points last month.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s net unfavorable rating among Texans on his handling of the border grew worse: Just 30% approved while 59% disapproved, a slide of 8 points from August, when the split was 34%-55%.

Overwhelmingly, Texans support shipping illegal immigrants to Democrat principalities:

The bus travel to Washington and other northern cities he’s provided for migrants was endorsed by 54% of respondents, while 29% disapproved.

This doesn’t bode well for Democrats, who will have to hang on to House and Senate seats in red and moderate-purple areas in November. It’s unclear if they can jack up enough turnout from their base of affluent white female college-educated liberals and urban minorities to hang onto the Senate in states like Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

In other polls, Kari Lake, Mark Finchem, and Blake Masters are surging:

Plus, could crazed black nationalist Keith Ellison actually lose in Minnesota?
