Austin, Travis County, Texas: Texas Southern University Poll Released October 29 Shows Talarico 49%, Paxton 47% in Senate Race — a Statistical Tie
A new poll released on October 29 by Texas Southern University in Austin, Travis County, Texas, shows Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton 49% to 47%, with Libertarian Ted Brown at 3% and 1% undecided. The poll surveyed 2,000 likely Texas voters from October 21 to 25, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.19 percentage points, making Talarico's two-point edge a statistical tie. The poll also found 48% of likely voters view Talarico favorably and 51% unfavorably, while 42% view Paxton favorably and 57% unfavorably. The result is consistent with other recent polls: an Emerson College poll released October 22 showed Talarico 48% to Paxton 46%; a Cook Political Report battleground poll released October 21 showed Talarico 49% to Paxton 44%; and a Fox News poll of October 21 showed the two tied at 49%. Early voting ends October 30, and Election Day is November 3. The poll was conducted before President Trump's two stops in Texas this week to campaign for Paxton, in Corpus Christi and Lubbock; Talarico also held a campaign rally a few miles from the Lubbock stop.
