Fox News Poll Shows Major Movement In Texas Senate Race– trendingpoliticsnews.com

A new Fox News poll of Texas likely voters finds Democratic Party nominee James Talarico and Republican nominee Ken Paxton tied at 49 percent each in the state’s closely-watched U.S. Senate race. This represents a change from the network’s September survey, in which Talarico held a 51 percent to 49 percent advantage among likely voters.

The October poll was conducted from October 15-19 among a sample of 2,011 registered voters, of whom 1,398 were identified as likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for the likely-voter subsample.

The movement from a two-point Talarico lead to a tie is associated with gains by Paxton among conservatives, rural voters, suburban women, and Republicans who supported Cornyn in the primary. Compared with the September Fox News poll, Paxton’s support rose by one point among both men and women, while Talarico’s support fell by one point among men and two points among women.
