Description
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton maintains a strong lead over Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff, according to a new poll. Paxton secures 48% support compared to Cornyns 40%, with 11% undecided. This poll aligns with Paxtons advantage in five previous surveys. Paxton dominates key groups, including men, non-college whites, Latinos, and voters under 65. Cornyn narrowly wins with seniors and college graduates. Electability is a significant concern, with 80% of voters prioritizing it. Paxton is seen as more electable, leading Cornyn by 5 points. A third of Cornyns supporters admit theyre more anti-Paxton than pro-Cornyn, and 24% would switch to the Democratic candidate in the general election. With the runoff approaching, Paxtons momentum is causing a stir in Texas Republican circles, potentially altering the Senate race dynamics.
