Among likely Democratic primary voters, 47 percent said they plan to back Talarico, compared with 38 percent for Crockett. Another 15 percent remain undecided with less than two months before the March primary.
Talarico, who has raised more than $13 million since launching his campaign in September, showed strong cross-demographic appeal — winning support from nearly six in ten white and Hispanic Democrats. Crockett, meanwhile, dominated among Black Democratic voters, capturing 80 percent in that demographic.
On the Republican side, Attorney General Ken Paxton continues to pose a serious threat to Sen. Cornyn, leading him 27 percent to 26 percent among likely GOP primary voters. Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) trails at 16 percent, while 29 percent remain undecided, the poll found.
