Poll: People outside of Texas have an increasingly positive view of our state

People don't want to mess with Texas, in fact, a new poll shows that most people who live outside the Lone Star State think positively of it.

The national poll conducted by Crosswind, a communications firm based in Austin, found that 59% of Americans outside of Texas have a positive view of the state.

That's a 14% increase from when they did the same poll last year.

The survey asked 845 Americans who live outside the state what they think of Texas.
