Texas state Representative James Talarico is pulling ahead in the race for the Texas Senate, holding a 5-point lead over Attorney General Ken Paxton as the midterm elections draw closer. This latest data comes from the Texas Public Opinion Research poll released Friday, which shows Talarico capturing 49 percent of voter support compared to 44 percent for Paxton.
With only 3 percent of voters remaining undecided, the momentum seems to be favoring the Democrat, though this is the second month in a row that TPOR has tracked this shift. In the previous month, Talarico held a 6-point lead, showing a consistent trend in his favor.
