New Poll has Democrat Talarico Leading In Texas Senate Race…..

Ok?

Lets get a Reality Check on the above….

It’s from a Democratic INTERNAL poll….

The lead’s against the Republicans, Cornyn and Paxton are 1% to 2%…..

Texas IS a SOLID Red State….

We’re Seven months out from the election….

We’ll keep and eye one this….

But It IS a long shot for James Talarico to actually getting ELECTED as the US Senator for Texas….

James Talarico narrowly beats both Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton in a general election, according to an internal campaign poll shared first with POLITICO. In a hypothetical general election matchup, Talarico leads Cornyn by 2 points — 43 percent to 41 percent — and leads Paxton by just 1 point, 44 percent to 43 percent.

The poll validates what some in the MAGA movement have argued is not a significant difference when it comes to electability between Cornyn and Paxton, with the results indicating Paxton holds a slight edge.

The poll of 900 likely voters, conducted by Impact Research from March 12-17, shows both Cornyn and Paxton are “deeply unpopular,” according to the memo.

Paxton is viewed unfavorably by an 18-point margin (37 percent favorable to 55 percent unfavorable), and Cornyn faces even higher negatives, facing a 33-point deficit (27 percent favorable to 60 percent unfavorable). Both men are more disliked than Sen. Ted Cruz, who carries a 47 percent favorable to 52 percent unfavorable split.

The polling also finds Paxton and Cornyn underwater among independents. Paxton sees a 32-point deficit with independent voters (31 percent favorable to 63 percent unfavorable), and Cornyn’s margin is 42 points (23 percent favorable to 65 percent unfavorable)….

“No matter who emerges from the Republican runoff, this race is shaping up as a referendum on a broken political system – with both Ken Paxton and John Cornyn as uniquely weak standard bearers,” Krasne writes….
