Incumbent Republican Greg Abbott secured the GOP nomination with 82% in the March 3 primary, facing Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, who won her primary with 60%, setting the November 3 general election matchup. Polling averages from RealClearPolling and 270toWin show Abbott ahead 49-42, with recent surveys like UT Tyler's late February poll at 49-41, though a March PPP survey indicated a 48-48 tie. Trader consensus at 80.5% for Republican reflects Texas' 30-year GOP governorship dominance, Abbott's incumbency edge, massive fundraising war chest, and the state's right-leaning electorate—Trump won by 15 points in 2024—outweighing polls' margins of error amid low Democratic turnout expectations in non-presidential years. Forecasters rate the race Solid Republican.
