John Cornyn trailing Senate primary challenger Ken Paxton, says new internal polls
Houston Chronicle ^ | May 1 | Houston Chronicle

A Republican poll obtained exclusively by the Houston Chronicle show Cornyn is down against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton among likely GOP primary voters by 17 percentage points. A Democratic poll shows him down more than 20 percentage points.

State Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, said it’s time for someone to have a serious talk with Cornyn about whether he really wants to go through with another campaign that could quickly turn negative and costly.

“If I was an incumbent senator with these types of polling numbers, I probably wouldn’t run because you can’t win,” Bettencourt said.

Cornyn has said he's not afraid of a primary against Paxton or anyone else. His campaign issued a similar statement Wednesday touting his easy primary victories over the decades and said he is “110% committed to running a vigorous reelection campaign.”

Hope it’s not an open primary — and that our people will turn-out and not just answer poll questions.

It’s funny. Beto could have taken him on in ‘20 after coming close against Cruz 2 years earlier. Collins would have been weaker.
