Talarico leads Paxton in Texas Senate race; Abbott faces tight governor contest

A recent Marist poll highlights a competitive landscape in Texas’s political races, showing Democrat James Talarico ahead of Republican Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate race, while Republican Governor Greg Abbott leads Democrat Gina Hinojosa in the gubernatorial contest. The survey, which involved 1,139 registered voters, indicated a 50%-44% lead for Talarico, surpassing the poll’s margin of error. Meanwhile, Abbott’s lead over Hinojosa was narrower at 49%-46%, making the governor’s race statistically tied. These results suggest a potentially pivotal shift in a traditionally Republican-dominated state.
