Talarico Holds Narrow Lead in Texas Senate Race | Lubbock News

James Talarico’s edge in the Texas Senate race is tightening, with new polling showing him narrowly ahead of Ken Paxton — 47% to 43% — though the margin is within error. Talarico’s momentum stems from a growing lead among independent voters and stronger favorability ratings (46% favorable vs. Paxton’s 40%). He leads on key issues like affordability and national security, while Paxton holds slight advantages on border policy. Multiple recent polls — including ones from Texas A&M, Texas Southern, Fox News, and Texas Public Opinion Research — consistently show Talarico in front, making this one of the closest races in the state. With Election Day fast approaching, every poll could shift the narrative — and this nail-biter is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
