Hispanic voters who backed Trump are turning on Texas Republicans over ICE raids, leaving Paxton's Senate race tied

A poll taken from 15 to 19 October puts Latino voters behind Democrat James Talarico over Republican Ken Paxton by 64% to 34%. Two years ago, Texas Hispanics backed Trump by a single point. Texas accounted for roughly one-third of all ICE arrests nationwide in July 2026. Strategists in both parties blame the immigration raids and the price of groceries and gas.
