AUSTIN —Texans are fed up with political division, with more than eight in ten saying they are exhausted by the conflict in politics. A key driver of this sense of exhaustion is that Texans see division in a different way: 81 percent say Texans have more in common than what divides them. A new groundbreaking study, The Threads of Texas, explains the forces which are pulling Texans apart and the shared identity and values that can bring Texans together. This new report challenges long-standing narratives of political and geographic division within the state of Texas by providing new data on the many shared beliefs among Texans.
