Texas Senate race: New poll shows Jasmine Crockett could beat Ken Paxton
USA TODAY
A new poll suggests U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett could beat Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas U.S. Senate general election, despite a tight Democratic primary.
A new poll shows U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett with the best chances to topple Republicans in the Texas U.S. senate race in the general election.
A poll from Hart Research shows Crockett, a Dallas Democrat, beating Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a General Election matchup for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn. Paxton is currently polling ahead of Cornyn, though the Republican primary will likely be headed for a runoff.
“I’ve been doing the work and fighting on behalf of Texans since before I entered this race," Crockett said in a news release. "Voters know my leadership and trust me to fight for them. Texas voters are smarter than DC would have you believe. Texans can cut through the noise and won’t be swayed by pundits nor podcasters."
Crockett is currently locked in a tight primary battle with Texas state Rep. James Talarico, an Austin Democrat whose recent appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" has immensely bolstered his name recognition and campaign war chest.
The poll also confronted voters with the kind of negative ads likely to crop up if Crockett wins the primary, but those polled were unmoved by the attacks.
