YES if, in the most recent publicly released poll for the Texas U.S. Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton with a publication date on or before August 26, 2026, Talarico's reported support percentage is strictly greater than Paxton's, otherwise NO. "Most recent" means the single poll with the latest publication date/time on or before August 26, 2026, or if publication timestamps are unavailable the poll with the latest fieldwork end date, and if multiple polls share the same publication timestamp use the one with the later fieldwork end date or the pollster's published timestamp or VoteHub's ordering as needed. If the chosen poll does not report both named candidates, use the most recent poll on or before August 26, 2026 that does report both. Identical reported percentages to the precision shown resolve NO. Resolution will follow VoteHub's Texas Senate poll listing, corroborated by the original pollster's published release or mainstream news outlets that quote the poll.
