The Texas Tribune • • nation
Key Points:
- A new Emerson College poll shows state Rep. James Talarico leading U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett by 9 points among likely Democratic voters in Texas' Senate primary, reversing a December Texas Southern University poll that had Crockett ahead by 8 points.
- Talarico leads strongly among Latino and white voters, while Crockett maintains overwhelming support from Black voters; the 17-point swing toward Talarico is attributed to gains with men, Latino, and white voters.
- On the Republican side, Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn are in a close race with neither surpassing 30%, suggesting a likely runoff in May; Paxton and Cornyn are tied in hypothetical general election matchups
