TX-10 Poll (Change Research) 613 LV (18 Sep 2026-22 Sep 2026) 48% Chris Gobar (Republican) 46% (Caitlin Rourk) (Democratic) Trump favorability 47% Favorable 50% Unfavorable

A Change Research poll of Texas’s 10th Congressional District (613 likely voters, Sept. 18-22), found the race within the margin of error following short candidate bios (48 Gober/46 Rourk), with Caitlin Rourk
breaking 50% in the final informed ballot (51 Rourk/42 Gober). Further questions prove what Team Rourk has heard across TX-10 the past several months: Caitlin's strong candidate profile, a uniquely
vulnerable opponent, and an increasingly poor political environment for Republicans have set the stage for an historic upset in Texas.
In a statement, Rourk said the following: “This is not just a close race - it’s literally ours to lose. Our campaign has the ability to do something extraordinary that few other campaigns can do right now. We
have been doing the path-breaking foundational work and are ready to go exponential in the final stretch. Now, we just need the investment to go execute and win this race.”

Source: Change Research poll of 613 likely voters, fielded September 18 - 22, 2026. Margin of error: 4.3%.

Highlights:
● Trump’s favorability is underwater at 47% favorable/50% unfavorable. Every statewide Republican candidate tested in this poll is also in net negative territory. Ken Paxton is statistically tied with Talarico in the Senate race, and Greg Abbott is running well-behind the Republican
baseline.
● Chris Gober is uniquely vulnerable given his close ties to figures like Elon Musk. Nearly half of voters are “very” concerned when they learn about his ties to Musk, Republican Super PACs, and his lobbying contracts, including a majority of independents and a sizable chunk of Republicans.
● Rourk, by comparison, has the right candidate profile for the district and can capitalize on
both the political environment and her opponent’s weakness. When shown positive information about Rourk’s background and asked to choose what aspect voters like best, 32% pointed to her background as a veteran who puts country over party. About a quarter resonated
most wit…

Absolutely. If any Dem Member of Congress concocted a conspiracy theory based upon the assumption that going to a Hawkeyes basketball game necessarily meant going to Atlanta, it would be a week of TV spots and three months of op-ed columns about Dems' cultural disconnect.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!
