Talarico leads Cornyn, Paxton in Texas Senate race, new poll shows

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, is leading both of his potential Republican opponents in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups ahead of the general election, according to a new poll.

In the Texas Public Opinion Research survey, conducted in mid-April, likely general election voters in the Lone Star State say they would back Talarico over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R), 44 percent to 41 percent — just outside the poll’s margin of error. Another 11 percent of respondents say they’re undecided.

In a hypothetical match-up against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), the Democratic candidate’s advantage widens to 5 points, 46 percent to 41 percent, with just 9 percent of respondents undecided.

None of the Republican candidates for the Senate secured a majority of votes during the primary election, sending Cornyn and Paxton to a runoff on May 26. The winner will face Talarico in November.

1. Gotta get that 50%!

2. Yep, I always hold my breath until my candidate hits at least 50%

3. In the general election it only takes a plurality to win.

Plus we will probably have a libertarian candidate and possibly a green on the ticket in the fall after they hold their conventions.
