Texas Senate race between Paxton, Talarico a toss-up, survey shows
The Texas Senate race appears to be a toss-up between Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) and state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), according to a new survey.
The New York Times/Siena poll, released Monday, found the two candidates virtually tied at 47 percent support among likely voters in the Lone Star State.
The numbers show around 94 percent of Democratic voters back Talarico and 91 percent of Republican voters back Paxton. About 58 percent of independents say they back the Democratic hopeful while 31 percent put their support behind the attorney general, the numbers show.
Another 13 percent say they prefer another candidate, according to the poll.
This loosely remains the same among 2024 presidential election voters. Roughly 95 percent of Texans who voted for former Vice President Harris say they would vote for Talarico, while 87 percent of voters who chose President Trump say they would vote for Paxton, the pollsters noted.
