Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton would still lead Sen. John Cornyn even if President Donald Trump endorses the incumbent in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by Texas Public Opinion Research (TPOR), shows that, should Trump effectively back Cornyn, it wouldn't be enough to get him across the finish line: Paxton would still lead 44% to 43%. In contrast, should the state attorney general get the endorsement, his support would jump to 58%, compared to Cornyn's 32%.
