Talarico is the best chance Democrats have of winning a statewide race in Texas. So of course they will choose the other candidate

I guess Democratic primary voters in Texas don’t want their nominee to win the Senate. I like her, and will try to help her if she’s the nominee, but we really need to win Texas. I’m not confident she can win over non-Democrats, an essential requirement to win. Turnout in Texas being up has helped Republicans not Democrats in recent years (thanks Trump).

Can Republicans vote in the democratic primary?

Color me skeptical of this poll. A sample of only 369 voters and a large MOE leaves a lot of room for polling errors, and primary polls are iffy on reliability enough as it is. For example, I really heavily doubt Talarico is only up 6 points among white voters.
That said, it also wouldn’t really surprise me for Democratic primary voters to go the unelectable route. Crockett’s theory of winning the general is to drive up base turnout by being combative in a state where your base is outnumbered by the other side. Talarico’s theory of winning is to talk to voters in a way that doesn’t invoke blind partisanship. Talarico’s plan is the only one that has a chance of winning, but sometimes winning the general isn’t as important to primary voters, unfortunately.

It’s a shitty game for sure, but Talarico has a better chance of winning the state. Americans, definitely Texans, don’t want to vote for a woman, let alone a black woman. They’ve already proven it a few times. You gotta win before you can change the rules of the game. When we win, we have to change a lot of rules.

I’ll vote for her if she’s the nominee, but I plan on voting for Talarico today during Early Voting

I personally voted for Talarico, because as much as I do love Crockett fiery spirit,
I personally believe we need a more unifying and empathetic voice to help heal the nation, and Talarico exactly that,
I do truly believe both are politicians of principle and honor though.

I hope they both send their followers to the other if they lose! In terms of policy they aren’t very different. Mostly their messaging and tactics for motivating people are what set them apart.

Is this a real poll or one of those Texas ones where they only ask the ‘right’ people to get the outcome they want?

Fine with jasmine but we need talarico. He is the one that can reach these church base people.

These two should not be fighting each other for a spot

The fake polls republicans are pushing lol?

They should both be in Congress in one way or another

“Better chance of winning” doesn’t equal “moderate”.
If you’ve listened to Talarico speak, I think you’ll see that while he can talk with MAGAs, he does it in a way to Shepard them back into the fold (not a Christian and not for church in politics, but that’s the best analogy I have for how he speaks). He communicates on a level they understand for why progressive policies actually fit their religious beliefs.
He’s dangerous to republicans due to that ability. He’s also progressive and will vote progressively while explaining and getting his electorate on board.
I’m not in Texas but I am a huge fan of his and hope he’s part of turning this shit show around.

she is going to lose the senate if she wins the primary. 100%. I like her but TX is fucking racist and sexist as hell. Did you not learn anything from 2020?

Republican bots and misinformation are heavily promoting Crockett, the reliability of information about this is very poor

I’m going with Talarico! I believe he has a better shot in the general.

Crockett is awesome but she’ll never come close in the general. James is the smart choice.

Talarico has a chance to appeal to Christians and evangelicals, if not to vote for him then to at least not vote for the Republican candidate.
Crockett is brash and hands out the clapbacks and meme content that Gen Z voters crave.
There’s your difference.

Unfortunately Crockett will not win against any R in Texas. Talarico has a legit shot. I personally like Crockett but no way Republicans in Texas vote for an outspoken black female.

We desperately need rank choice voting.

Republicans are not scared of Crockett. They are deathly afraid of Talarico’s rise.
The-Kang-Master on
Crockett will get smoked in the general. Need Talarico his politics are better anyways. More focus on populist economic policies and less on cultural issues ESPECIALLY in Texas
She is great in her district and as an anti Trump voice in the house.. but she really has no chance in the general that’s why the GOP is actively helping and funding her campaign

Republicans are pushing for Crockett. That’s all you need to know

Lame.
He’s an actual progressive. She’s a corporate democrat that knows how to talk shit really well.

I love Crockett, but unfortunately she has no chance of winning a general election in Texas. Talarico as a white church going man is a long shot as it is. Ignoring that misogyny and racism are very real and alive in Texas and the USA is ignoring reality.

If Crockett is the nominee then republicans will win the seat with little trouble.

2 weeks old, less than 400 respondents, and heavily in the Metroplex. This poll is laughably skewed.

I could be wrong here, but I feel like Talarico is a total windfall for Democrats in Texas. I don’t give a shit about Jesus or the bible either. I just feel like he is handily the most electable candidate in the General, on paper and everywhere else.
Stranger2306 on
Crockett is doing a great job of helping make sure TX stays in Republican hands.

Talarico will swing centrist votes in a general election, which is REQUIRED to convert this seat. I hope he gets the nomination.
alexdev50 on
I voted Talarico. As someone who has lived in Texas for 35 years, he has a chance. She does not just based on *obvious reasons*.
Mayweather2025 on
10 Years from now Crockett could make a Senate run in Texas.
Today, it has to be Talarico.
Its messed up, but thats where we are politically and socially right now.
We have to play the smartest hand we can.

Why do I have a dreadful feeling the Dems don’t get it and are going to continue snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…
Crockett is qualified, a good choice in most places, but a bad choice to beat MAGA in Texas.

Not sure about a sample of 361 people
Crockett has been leading Talarico for weeks
This poll is two weeks old and basically useless
