A new poll finds Democrat James Talarico beating incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn by 3 points and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton by 5 points in hypothetical U.S. Senate matchups. The poll shows Talarico leads driven by stronger support from moderates and independent voters, narrowing a seat long held by Republicans. A Democratic flip in Texas would shift Senate majority dynamics and make the race a top strategic priority for both parties in 2026.
