Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a progressive firebrand beloved by the activist left and loathed by many conservatives, is now watching her once-comfortable lead in the Texas Democratic Senate primary begin to evaporate.
According to The Blaze, Crockett had previously appeared to be in a strong position, with CBS News reporting that A poll last month from Texas Southern University showed Crockett leading Talarico by eight percentage points, 51% to 43%, with 6% undecided. During that earlier phase of the race, Crockett projected confidence while striking a tone of relentless campaigning, telling CBS News Texas, I will always run like Im behind. Thats the only way I know how to run. So let me tell you, if Im not in D.C., I will be here in Texas fighting to earn every single vote that I can.
Her rise has drawn particular attention from BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere, who has made Crockett something of a recurring character in his commentary, precisely because her hard-left politics so starkly contrast with Texas conservative instincts. Thats our girl. Inspiring, an inspiring candidate, Jasmine Crockett. Now you might say, Wait a minute. Isnt she a crazy leftist? Why are you saying shes our girl? Because I want her to win this primary so very badly. I want her to run in basically every race that I follow because shes just absolutely fantastic, Burguiere remarks, with his trademark blend of sarcasm and satire.
Yet for those on the right who see Crockett as the perfect symbol of the modern Democratic Partys excesses, the latest numbers are not exactly welcome news. I hope youre sitting down. Texas 2026 poll: Talarico leads Crockett for Democratic Senate nomination, Stu reads, underscoring the dramatic reversal in the race.
The shift is significant and suggests that even Democratic voters may be cooling on Crocketts brand of left-wing politics. This is crushing. Its crushing. And look, its not over yet. Still got plenty of time here to turn this around, but I am a little nervous in that she was up eight last time. And now James Talarico 47%, Jasmine Crockett at 38%, Stu says, noting the stark change.
The margin is now defined as much by uncertainty as by support, leaving room for further volatility in a party already drifting leftward. Still 15% undecided though. Thats 15% that could go to our girl Jasmine Crockett. She is losing now and thats a 17-point swing from the last time, he continues, highlighting how quickly fortunes can change when voters start paying attention.
For conservatives, Crocketts slide may be less surprising than it is revealing, especially as her rhetoric and policy positions become more widely known. Of course, if people are hearing her speak and listening to her policies, well of course shes going to lose. Thats unfair. We shouldn't be focusing on those things. Thats not what Jasmines here to do, he says, adding pointedly, Very disappointing. Im disappointed in you Texas.
As the 2026 contest approaches, the Democratic primary is shaping up as a test of how far left Texas Democrats are willing to go, and whether a candidate like Crockett can survive once her record and ideology are fully scrutinized.
