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.
This is pleasing to me.
Doubtful.
Cornyn and Lankford Need to join each other In the trash can of history I can’t think of 2 who deserve it more
It’s funny. Beto could have taken him on in ‘20 after coming close against Cruz 2 years earlier. Collins would have been weaker.
As a Texan, I don’t know of a single person who likes that SOB.
I will campaign hard for Paxton.
Eff that RINO scumbag, he’s a disgrace.John Cornyn is one of those who has to go, just like Burrows.
Music to my ears. Have a blast.
