Talarico leads both Cornyn, Paxton in new poll of Texas' U.S. Senate race [View all]
Democratic state Rep. James Talarico is leading both of his prospective Republican opponents in a new poll of Texas' U.S. Senate race — though the result is within the margin of error in either scenario, suggesting a close contest in November.
The poll, conducted by Texas Public Opinion Research from April 17 to 20, found Talarico leading Sen. John Cornyn by three percentage points, 44% to 41%. The Austin Democrat leads Attorney General Ken Paxton by a margin of five percentage points, 46% to 41%. The survey included 1,018 likely general election voters and had a margin of error of +/-3.3 percentage points.
