Senator John Cornyn reduced the gap with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by the University of Texas' Texas Politics Project, shows Paxton leading Cornyn by 36% to 34%. Rep. Wesley Hunt was on third place with 26% of the prospective votes. If such results were to hold, Cornyn and Paxton would face off each other in a runoff on May 26. The poll surveyed 350 registered voters and has a margin of error of +/-5.2 points.
