Recent polling averages show Democrat Bobby Pulido leading Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz by roughly 7 points among likely voters in Texas’s 15th District, with the latest Texas Southern University survey from mid-October placing him at 51% to 44%. The district’s 2025 redistricting shifted boundaries significantly, incorporating large new areas of Hidalgo County while removing portions of De La Cruz’s prior base, leaving much of the electorate unfamiliar with the incumbent. Pulido’s celebrity as a Tejano music star has delivered strong name recognition and support among Latino voters, who comprise the majority of the district. Trader consensus reflected in current pricing aligns with these polling trends and the competitive toss-up ratings from nonpartisan forecasters, though the narrow margins leave room for late shifts driven by turnout or economic messaging.
