Talarico holds small lead over Cornyn, Paxton in US Senate race, poll finds
Fox 7 ^ | March 9, 2026 | Aaron Barker

Some of the first polling of the general election race for U.S. Senate in Texas showed that the Democratic candidate has the lead over both Republicans vying for the seat.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico won the Democratic Party’s nomination during last week’s primary. However, the Republicans running for the office – incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton – are preparing for a May runoff after neither of them cracked the 50% threshold during the primary.

The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling between March 4 and 5 and asked respondents questions ranging from the favorability of President Donald Trump to their education. Respondents were 30% Democrat, 41% Republican and 30% Independent.

Well, until Cornyn proves himself better than what he has been so far, how much does it matter? He’s a RINO.

“Fake poll for DNC fundraising help.”

Can you imagine owning a business whereas you can provide the information you need to see that your customers are able to raise money to spend with your business.

Welcome to media world.

If actual legal voters in Texas are THAT stupid, to vote for that idiot, I guess they get what they deserve like NYC and VA. With the illegal voting machine that the DNC has been, its a toss up.
