Polls show tight statewide races in Texas, with the GOP losing Hispanic support
The Texas Southern University poll found 57% of Latino voters back James Talarico, while 84% of Republicans support Ken Paxton.
- On Tuesday, Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton 47% to 46% in a Texas Southern University poll of 1,800 likely voters, placing the Senate race within the 2.31% margin of error in a statistical dead heat.
- Quorum Report editor Scott Braddock obtained an internal GOP poll from a reputable Republican pollster working for DC trade groups focused on North Texas races, revealing weakness in Texas SD-9, a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024.
- Across all major races in Texas SD-9, Democrats lead decisively: Talarico over Paxton 52% to 41%, Hinojosa over Abbott 49% to 40%, Goodwin over Patrick 46% to 43%, Simmons over O'Hare 44% to 38%, and Rehmet over Wambsganss 53% to 39%.
- Both candidates carry net negative favorability ratings: Talarico is viewed favorably by 47% and unfavorably by 50%, while Paxton is viewed favorably by 43% and unfavorably by 55%.
- The GOP's weakness in Texas reflects broader national struggles for President Donald Trump and Republicans, whose polling has declined as Americans express concerns about the economy and immigration with more than 40 days until Election Day on November 3.
