## Resource

Texas Senate race is a statistical dead heat with Ken Paxton and James Talarico each at 43% and 42% respectively, but the battle for independents could tip the scales—Talarico leads with 40% of that crucial bloc while Paxton gets just 12%. Republicans are now 84% behind Paxton after earlier hesitation, while Democrats remain 88% loyal to Talarico. Voters’ top concerns? Inflation, the economy, gas prices, and jobs—issues both campaigns will aggressively target as November approaches. This could be one of the most pivotal races in the country.
