James Talarico and Ken Paxton are locked in a dead heat in the open Texas Senate race in a new survey released Tuesday, with the state emerging as a major battleground in the fight for the Senate.
A New York Times/Siena poll showed Talarico, the Democratic state lawmaker, and Paxton, the state’s Republican attorney general, tied at 47 points apiece among likely voters. Six percent of voters indicated they hadn’t yet made up their minds over who to support.
