What issue do you think could move the most voters in the Texas Senate race: the economy, data centers, independent voters, or loyalty to each party’s nominee?

Isnt this poll like Paxton getting 516 votes & Talarico having 504? That’s not much of huge deal difference especially coming from republicans 💀

The University of Texas also polled Jasmine Crockett nearly +10 points ahead of Talarico a week before the primary. I wouldn't put too much stock in this. Texas will come through.

Gee! Seven points is huge. I hate Paxton, but this is Texas. I see the polls, but remember that Trump was not supposed to win in 2016. I no longer trust the polls. Please Support Blue all the way. Send Tararico some money!

Anytime the polls show that someone as diabolically depraved and pathologically mendacious as Paxton is ahead of Talarico, it's a pathetic commentary on who we are as Texans! Paxton's deplorable record is infamous, but the polls still show him ahead of Talarico. As soon as early voting starts, I'll be there the very first day to cast my ballot for Talarico! 😊

Texas is a basket case. All Paxton's crimes and wife cheating, just give him more credit with the MAGAs and Evangelicals.

Listen to the new Polll regarding Susan Collins.
18% of the people believe that Warren Harding was president when Susan Collins was born.
In terms of Lindsey Graham 38% of the people poll believe that Lindsey Graham was too young to serve in the Spanish-American war of 1898 however he did serve in World War I

6/24/2026 Texas is a minority majority state, where Hispanic -Latinos continue to support Paxton by 46%! What happened to moral values? They support a man who made it possible for a CONVICTED child se¥ual abuser to walk out of jail and on to their communities. I guess Bible thumping is something to talk about, not to live it.

Blacks refuse to vote for James T….. they wanted Crockett…. I voted as a Democrat just to get rid of Crockett… but will be voting Republican in the fall…. and I don't like data centers but I also realize it doesn't matter who is in control both Democrats and Republicans will push for AI data centers bet you won't hear anything about the environment and global warming anymore they have decided to piss in mother nature's face instead….😂

If Texans vote for Paxton, who thinks paedophilia is not a crime and has a long record of corrupt behaviour. Over choir boy Talarico. They are officially in the camp of the big guy with the horns.

Texas, Florida, and Georgia will always vote against their own interests no matter what census or polls say if any Democrat is in the lead before any elections.

They’re voting red, no matter the dread.

Those who support Paxton likely consider themselves to be "saved".
But they couldn't be more lost.

How people could even vote for somebody like Paxton is beyond belief. It says so much about so many Texas voters, amazingly so many that actually have the nerve to call themselves, religious,, or anything, but, they have a prime qualified candidate in Talarico, who stands up for everyone, with a flawless background yet they still look the other way.
@sandyzalecki1145

If the people in Texas vote for a despicable person like Paxton over Talarico they deserve what they get.
@ginomizzoni7997
June 24, 2026 at 9:08 pm
15% is a HUGE number … Those are most likely independents, which polling shows they are swinging heavily for Dems …. Time will tell

So if true, Texans are just saying they don't give a crap about philanderers, fraudsters, and crooks. Sigh…

It is a condemnation of Texas that Paxton is even close.

What bothers me is you should be able to run on your own merit, not by slamming your opponent.

So, if Paxton wins the two senators representing the state of Texas will be two of the slimiest human beings on the face of the earth. So, anyone living in Texas you might want to hide that from people

Black Texas voters are not supporting Talarico. It's lukewarm at best.

June 24, 2026 at 9:08 pm
What tge hell is wrong with Texas? Seriously! The choice is a crook versus a minister! At this point Paxton would have to eat a baby live on stage WHILE talirico walks on water! To the voters of Texas, are you tired of stupid yet? The rest of the country awaits your answer!
