Just checked RCP and another poll (YouGov) has Talarico up 6 - this time 50-44. Interesting. Looks like in their prior poll it was up 1.

RNC bounce.

paxton is trailing, nothing he or the GOP tries seems to help, and the dread of texas electing a democrat to the senate and the psychological toll that would have on republicans has many people on edge

---

Psychological toll lol. So much projection. Republicans just go on with their lives and laugh at the liberalism.

---

i've been around here long enough to know this will not be the case

---

Most of the anger here will be limited to concerned moderates saying I told you so to the Paxton supporters and Paxton supporters being pissed at whatever concerned moderates that didn't hold their nose and vote for him.

In the real world, nothing will happen because republicans have jobs and don't burn entire cities down when they don't get their way the way the democrats do.

---

The problem is even if all Cornyn voters came back to vote for Paxton, the GOP has major issues with independent voters with the handling of the economy and the vocal Paxton backers fail to realize that.

---

What we realize or dont realize is irrelevant. Who cares

If Paxton is leading going into the night only to lose to a 3 AM ballot dump then yes there might be some butt hurt conservatives. Other than that, I'm gonna have a cup of coffee and watch TexAgs.

And he'd be there 6 years

Talarico is a radical leftist that would go to Washington and support policies that are in line with AOC, Bernie Sanders, Schumer, Pochahontas, and Mamdani. Everything else is noise.

Texans are smarter than that. Paxton by 4% in the poll that counts.

How did GA handle losing both Senate seats to the Dems?

He is dangerous

"Talarico described capitalism as one of three interconnected "oppressive systems." He thanked young activists for having "drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country," adding, "And I think only ending the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we gonna be able to begin the process of dismantling them."

People that are worried about Paxton's private life need to get their head on straight. This guy is pure radical leftist looking to put Obama's fundamental transformation on steroids.

Talafreako goes dark. Weird.

Quote:

Next, his campaign cancelled an event slated for October 5 with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium. The campaign has offered no explanation as to why the event was suddenly canned.

The campaign once again cancelled a planned appearance for October 6, at a grassroots Final Austin Fundraiser. The event was advertised as an opportunity for "neighbors, organizers, and supporters from all corners of the community to gather" and prepare for the final stretch of the election season. When attempting to RSVP for the event, interested parties are told that the event has been rescheduled and are offered no details as to when the new date may be.

The campaign calendar currently shows no scheduled public appearances for Talarico, and only displays canvassing and get out the vote gatherings.

Not feeling well? Vacationing with his 'girlfriend'? Out of Epstein Hoffman cash?

More from the article for those that didn't click the link -

"During an August 5, 2025, interview on the Higher Learning podcast, Talarico described Mamdani as a "template" for Democrats across the country and said the party needed to "adopt" what Mamdani did to win elections.

The interview followed Mamdani's victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary roughly six weeks earlier. Mamdani's platform included free public transportation, a rent freeze, city operated grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage, and higher taxes on the upper class...."

If this is what you want, Talarico is your guy. For more rational people that actually care about this country, a vote for Paxton is a no brainer.

I read the article - it's not a surprise to those who look beyond tv commercials. Thank you for those who won't read it.

There's a bunch of stuff online about how the polls are using Democrat numbers from 2024 with a +7 or more added in. Harris was favored in polling before Election Day. That is how they are getting democrat wins in the polls today. We all know how that turned out. No swing state victories and popular vote for Trump.

Also democrats are running behind past midterm numbers for absentee ballot requests and turned in ballots.

The raw sample has 1,788 Harris voters versus 1,476 Trump voters, despite Texas having voted strongly Republican in 2024. It also has only 1,751 white respondents, even though the final model weights whites to 59% of likely voters.

Weighting can fix an unbalanced sample on… https://t.co/2JKb6BSNct

— Indian American Voice (@Freespeech212) October 6, 2026

Pollsters adjust ("weight") their results so the sample matches the likely voters. If the people who answered already look like Texas (for example), the adjustments are small. If they don't, some respondents count for almost nothing and some count as 9 people.

The design effect…

Good explanation of what I'd happening in the rage polls

Can you summarize this?

I don't live in Texas but this guy is white isn't he? If white supremacy is so evil how can he justify running?

It's (d)ifferent.

YouGov is a self selecting (opt-in) online poll that has not only been accused of bias more than once, but accused of poor methodology on a variety of topics, not just elections.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: “Our ultimate goal” is to give every illegal alien citizenship.

Don't vote for democrats. They hate this country and want to destroy it. Tallyrico is fully on board with it.

Chuck Schumer says the "ultimate goal" is securing a path to citizenship for the millions of illegal aliens who have invaded our country.

Texas Democrat James Talarico said he wants to "replace" policing "with something new" and called to "limit police power."

I swear just today talarico supporters said he was the total opposite of this...reasonable stances on every policy choice.

So y'all voting for low t want socialism and children cut on and chemically changed. Y'all want no police and govt grocery stores, Muslim prayers, higher taxes and mass citizenship of illegals,. Y'all want no fair voting, higher taxes, the green deal ( which is bogus, Al Gore made a lot of money), DEI (also bad but racist bad against whites), trans reading time in elementary schools, boys in girls bathrooms and sports, not to mention let's get rid of oil and gas in Texas, parents persecuted for not approving trans surgery for their own children.

His pastor said not to worry he'd go back to his radical stances.Hes just lying to try to win. That is crappy but typical of democrats.He voted for a state income tax and he's against eating meat!

All the above are possibilities. No "I told you so will help " .
I am thinking lots think this is some sort of game, and if it doesn't work , snap, we can change back. That won't happen.

for those counting at home, that's three straight polls of talarico hitting 50%

Hitting 50% is considered magic of course if the poll is improperly weighted it is less valid

What is the Libertarian candidate expected get because if it's 4% the magic number becomes 48%

They are fighting to secure them because actual Americans that are rational are starting to refuse to. That number grows more and more as things continue to come out about their schemes to screw us. While the tweet showing the sip fan video looking more like a cricket game in India might be poor taste, it causes people to stop and start to think about it.

I remember going to Austin 6 or 7 years ago to hang out with friends and we went to some of the spots we went when I was growing up there. There were no white people around, I honestly asked my friend where all the white people were. Those places were dominated by white people in 2000 but it was nothing but indians. It was eye opening.

edit: its honestly like they find out where the white women are at and flood the area. White women leave, which means the white men leave too. Pretty crazy to see.

I have seen a commercial of James Talarico claiming that Ken Paxxton is lying about his record and making fake AI videos of him. For example, he claimed he never supported gender affirming care, but he has voted for it numerous times. Jeffery Mead exposed Talarcio's lies in that commercial, and I shared Mead's story on Instagram. I hope Paxton defeats Talarico to keep Texas red.
