In a sample of 1,290 likely Democratic primary voters conducted from Jan. 14 to Jan. 21, Crockett led Talarico by one percentage point, 38% to 37%, with 21% of voters undecided. The survey, conducted by Texas Public Opinion Research, a nonpartisan public opinion group, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. A public poll conducted by Emerson College from Jan. 10 to Jan. 12 put Talarico ahead of Crockett by 9 points. A December poll by Texas Southern University, conducted just after Crockett entered the race, had her ahead by 8 points. “Crockett and Talarico are running neck-and-neck in the Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate,” Luke Warford, director of Texas Public Opinion Research, which is neutral in the primary and not employed by either campaign, said in a statement.
