A new Texas Public Opinion Research survey finds James Talarico leads both John Cornyn, 44% to 41%, and Ken Paxton, 46% to 41%, powered by leading margins with moderates and independents.
Key finding: “Affordability is the top issue in Texas. 21% of likely voters cite affordability and the cost of living as the issue elected officials should prioritize most — more than double the next-closest issue.”
