New Facts: Abbott and Hinojosa Polls Show Tight Race

Greg Abbott and Gina Hinojosa are tied at 48 percent in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. Five percent were undecided in a survey of 524 voters conducted March 10 and 11.

Abbott carried this district in 2022 with 54.4 percent to Beto O’Rourke’s 44 percent. The tie replaces that cushion in a part of the state he previously held comfortably.

In the same survey, 45 percent viewed Donald Trump favorably and 52 percent unfavorably, and 51 percent said they voted for Trump in 2024 while 39 percent voted for Kamala Harris. Recent public statewide polls this year have tended to put Abbott ahead by 7 to 8 points.
