Crockett up by double digits in Texas Senate Democratic primary poll
Jasmine Crockett's late entry and strong name recognition give her a 12-point lead over James Talarico in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, University of Texas poll shows.
- Yesterday, a University of Texas poll showed Jasmine Crockett, congresswoman, leading James Talarico, state representative, by 12 points.
- Because Crockett filed just before the December deadline, she had a late entry and a shorter campaign head start than Talarico, who began running months earlier.
- Talarico has built momentum through national media and talk shows, producing viral House-floor moments invoking his Christian faith, which many Democratic primary voters find persuasive and see as increasing his electability.
- The primary is on Tuesday, and if no candidate reaches 50 percent, a runoff is expected at the end of May, which could shape Democrats' statewide chances in the general election.
- Separately, Texas's Republican calendar and high-profile visits add near-term political context to the Senate map, with voters perceiving Crockett as a fighter over Talarico, whose faith-based messaging is gaining traction.
