Trump's Rally for Paxton May Help Talarico, Fox News Poll Suggests
Most Texan voters are concerned about the close relationship between President Trump and Ken Paxton according to a new poll.
A recent Fox News poll suggests that Ken Paxton's close association with President Donald Trump during a rally in Texas might be inadvertently helping his Democratic opponent, James Talarico, according to a new survey. The poll indicates that 51 percent of Texas registered voters, when considering themselves likely to vote, support Talarico over Paxton, a difference that falls within the survey's margin of error.
However, the poll also reveals a stark divide among Republican voters. While 90 percent of self-identified Republicans would vote for Paxton, only 10 percent would back Talarico. The survey further highlights that 37 percent of voters are "extremely concerned" and 14 percent are "very concerned" about Paxton's closeness to Trump, while only 10 percent of voters are "extremely concerned" about Talarico's ties to Trump.
This concern might be influencing voters' decisions, particularly among those who do not identify as MAGA Republicans.
