Texas pollster and professor James Henson

Show notes

James Henson teaches in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the founder and executive director of the Texas Politics Project, a hub of research and public affairs work that provides non-partisan resources for understanding Texas government and politics. He co-founded the University of Texas/Texas Politics Project Poll, the longest running academic survey of Texas public opinion, in 2008 with Daron Shaw. His writing about Texas politics has appeared in every major Texas media outlet, as well as publications including The Washington Post, The Hill, Texas Monthly, and The Conversation.

Jim and I talk Texas politics: the Talarico v Paxton Senate race, the Abbott v Hinojosa governor's race, whether the state may finally be turning blue, and the midterms overall in terms of who’s likely to win control of the House and Senate.
