Paxton, Talarico locked in dead heat for Texas Senate: Poll
Recent polls show Paxton at 47% and Talarico at 46%, with multiple surveys falling within each poll’s margin of error.
- An Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media survey released Thursday shows the Texas U.S. Senate race in a dead heat, with Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton at 47% and Democrat James Talarico at 46%.
- Paxton bolstered his campaign by securing endorsements from 18 House Republicans and President Donald Trump, unifying party support after his May primary runoff victory.
- Talarico received backing from Common Defense, a veteran-led grassroots organization, while Dan Cogdell, a Houston-based attorney who previously represented Paxton, endorsed the Democrat.
- Sen. John Cornyn continues to criticize Paxton and has not publicly endorsed the Republican nominee for his U.S. Senate seat, exposing internal party fractures.
- With early voting beginning Oct. 19, both campaigns mobilize voters as the race remains statistically tied, though recent polls show varying results within margins of error.
