Ah yes, Texas Public Opinion Research—the reassuringly neutral-sounding polling outfit run by a former Democratic candidate and Texas Democratic Party strategist, with no meaningful public disclosure of who funds it.
But don’t worry. It says “nonpartisan” on the label.
Apparently all you need to become an objective research institution is a polished website, a generic name, and the confidence not to explain where the money comes from.
And naturally, its poll now shows Talarico winning non-college voters by nine points. The 21-point deficit he had with that same group in a legitimate poll is apparently no cause for concern. A casual 30-point swing is just what happens when the data finally becomes sufficiently nonpartisan.
