## Resource

Texas governor’s race is heating up in a dead heat between Greg Abbott and Gina Hinojosa, both at 47% in a new poll—with 5% still undecided. Abbott’s favorability lags behind his unfavorability, while Hinojosa leads among Hispanic voters by 12 points. A broader trend shows more Texans leaning Democratic, especially among Latinos, influenced by Trump’s policies. Meanwhile, in the Senate race, Democrat James Talarico leads Ken Paxton by 5 points, with a 19-point edge among Latinos—revealing a fiercely competitive political landscape across the state.
