An internal poll cited by Jasmine Crockett shows her leading Ken Paxton in a hypothetical Texas Senate matchup, while other polls show varying results in the Democratic primary and general-election matchups.
The article reports that a Hart Research poll of likely voters, which it says was conducted the previous week, gave Crockett 49% support against Paxton’s 45%. Crockett posted the poll and urged voters to participate in early voting, while also saying she would continue to fight for “transparency, affordability & accountability.”
Crockett must first face James Talarico in the Democratic primary. A University of Houston Hobby School poll put Crockett ahead of Talarico, while the article also describes another poll showing Republican candidates John Cornyn, Paxton and Wesley Hunt leading in matchups against the Democrats. The article notes differing poll results on support among Latino voters.

10 OUTLETSColbert interviewed Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, while Crockett said she had not been invited. CBS said it had not barred the interview and had provided equal-time guidance. Left-leaning outlets focus on Crockett’s account that network concerns about political retaliation shaped the episode. Center outlets emphasize equal-time guidance and report both Crockett’s criticism of the FCC and Bartlett’s claim she was treated unfairly. Right-leaning outlets stress competing claims over whether Crockett was unfairly sidelined or accusations about the interview were unfounded.
