James Talarico's Chances of Beating Ken Paxton—What Final Texas Polls Show

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 2 November 2026 and 2 November 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Talarico said, "Texans are ready for change," but the Senate race remains unresolved going into the final days.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a poll showing Pete Ricketts ahead of Dan Osborn in the Nebraska Senate race. The New York Times headline is broader, while its extract uniquely adds that voters see Osborn as more like a Democrat than an independent. The Hill foregrounds the margin, giving the 49 percent to 43 percent split and emphasizing that the poll comes just ahead of Election Day.
