James Talarico beating Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, poll shows

The state lawmaker leads his opponent by four percentage points, 47% to 43%

State Rep. James Talarico is beating Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas' Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.

The survey was shared by JT Ennis, a spokesman for Talarico. It showed that the lawmaker had a 4-point advantage before his interview with Stephen Colbert, which stirred controversy after not being aired on the late show television. Talarico claimed it was the Trump administration who blocked the airing of the interview and called it "the most dangerous kind of cancel culture."

Conducted by Impact Research among 800 likely voters in the Democratic primary, the survey showed Talarico getting 47% of the support, compared to Crockett's 43%. 9% of respondents said they were undecided.
