A final Emerson College/Nexstar poll put James Talarico five points ahead of Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, while other recent polls cited in the article show a more divided race.
The final Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media poll showed Talarico with 52% support and Crockett with 47% among likely Democratic primary voters. Emerson executive director Spencer Kimball said Talarico led among early voters, while Crockett led among those expected to vote on Election Day. The poll also showed Talarico ahead among Latino voters and Crockett ahead among Black voters.
The article cites another poll showing Talarico ahead, including on perceived electability, and reports his claim that the Trump administration blocked the airing of his interview with Stephen Colbert. It contrasts those results with a University of Texas Texas Politics Project poll that showed Crockett leading 56% to 44%.
