Summary
Texas Senate race is heating up as Democrat James Talarico pulls ahead of Republican Ken Paxton, now leading 49% to 43% in a new poll of 600 likely voters. Talarico’s momentum is especially strong with independents, who’ve shifted significantly in his favor — while Paxton’s approval is slipping. Even within his own party, support for Paxton is waning. The poll also reveals Texans largely oppose Flock cameras and new data centers, with Republicans split on the cameras but united on the moratorium. As election day nears, Talarico’s growing base and Paxton’s declining favorability could reshape the race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
