U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crocketts initial commanding lead in early polling in the U.S. Senate primary election has reversed, as a new poll of likely Democratic voters shows her behind her opponent, Texas State Rep. James Talarico.
According to the Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media survey, Crockett is 9 points behind Talarico, 47% to 38%, with less than two months before the March 3 primary elections. However, 15% remain undecided, leaving the race open to either candidate.
The poll is based on a sample size of only 413 likely Democratic voters, and among total registered Texas voters surveyed (1,165), 12.3% are Black and 22.3% are Hispanic or Latino.
The demographic breakdown of Crocketts support shows she is performing best among Black voters, with 80% backing the Texas congresswoman.
According to the Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media poll, Talarico is performing better with white voters (57%) and Hispanic voters (59%) than Crockett.
Men also break for Talarico 52% to 30%, while women are about evenly split between the two Democrats, 44% for Talarico and 43% for Crockett, said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.

(2,388 posts)She has the option of spending exorbitant amounts of money going negative against another amazing democrat in James Talarico. What she should do instead is drop out and use the money she has raied to run for AG or governor where it would be much better spent.

(1,879 posts)but I wish she had gone for a different statewide office. I wonder if it is not too late for her to switch to running for something else.
I will be voting for James Talarico in the primary and wish that we could have both of them (running in different positions.) That would be the best thing, them working together to get voters out in November.
