James Talarico Says He's Still the Underdog in Democratic Primary for Texas Senate Against Jasmine Crockett

Jasmine Crockett leads with 56% support in Texas Senate Democratic primary, showing strong backing from Black voters and seniors, according to the University of Texas poll.

  • On Wednesday, a UT poll found Crockett leads Talarico 56% to 44% in the Democratic primary from a Feb. 2 to Feb. 16 survey of 369 voters.
  • Demographic cleavages explain the margin, as Crockett draws 87% support from Black voters and leads among seniors and voters without a college degree, according to a recent poll.
  • Poll cross-tabs show sharp demographic splits, with James Talarico narrowly winning white voters by 6 points, Hispanic voters nearly tied with Crockett ahead by 4 points, and net favorabilities of 10 and 18 points.
  • The poll boosts Democratic prospects by showing an auspicious result for Democrats running for Congress in Texas, while the generic congressional ballot is tied at 42% Republicans and 42% Democrats, according to the University of Texas poll.
