In what may be a striking sign of trouble ahead for the Left, Jasmine Crockett’s support in the Texas Democratic Senate primary has dropped dramatically, according to recent polling. Once leading her rival by eight points, Crockett now trails former state representative James Talarico in a remarkable swing that could reshape the Democratic nomination fight.
On Stu Does America, conservative commentator Stu Burguiere highlighted the trend — noting that Crockett’s slide reflects broader dissatisfaction with a candidate whose policies and rhetoric are out of step with many Texans’ priorities. What once looked like a safe path to the nomination now looks far less certain, with Talarico leading 47% to 38% in the latest figures.
Burguiere didn’t hold back his disappointment, sarcastically lamenting the loss of support for “our girl Jasmine” while pointing out that voters may be waking up to what Crockett actually stands for — policies that fail to resonate in a state that’s trending conservative on many issues.
This development comes as no surprise to many conservatives who’ve warned that progressive Democrats struggle when facing scrutiny of their records and real‑world consequences of their policies. Politics isn’t about scripted sound bites — it’s about results and connecting with everyday Americans. Crockett’s slide suggests that message is sinking in with voters.
Crockett’s campaign now faces a critical moment: either reverse this downward trajectory or risk handing the nomination to a rival who’s already capitalizing on conservative fatigue with extreme positions. With the 2026 midterms looming, Democrats can’t afford self‑inflicted setbacks in key states like Texas.
