  "account": "Three Texas congressional districts won by President Donald Trump in 2024 now have Democratic candidates leading their Republican opponents in new polling. In the 15th District, Tejano singer Bobby Pulido leads Republican Monica De La Cruz 50 to 45 percent, a 7-point swing from the previous survey. Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico leads Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton 51 to 41 percent in the 28th District, while in the 34th District, Talarico leads Paxton 53 to 42 percent. Republican strategist Mike Madrid notes that the Latino vote is the largest swing vote in the nation, and that both parties failed to address economic concerns, leading voters to align with the party that shares their cultural values.",
