Recent polling of likely Hispanic voters in Texas shows Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton by margins of 15 to 33 points among this key demographic, which comprises roughly one-quarter to one-third of the electorate. This positioning reflects a reversal from 2024 voting patterns, driven by declining approval for Trump administration policies such as deportations alongside sustained focus on the economy as the top voter concern. Trader consensus at 96.7% for Democrats aligns with these consistent survey trends across multiple outlets. A late surge in Republican turnout efforts, shifts in immigration sentiment, or unexpected economic developments before the November 3 election could narrow the gap.
