Paxton and Cornyn locked in tight runoff without Trump endorsement

With the runoff just three weeks away, the Texas Senate GOP race is down to the wire between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX).

A new poll from the University of Houston‘s Hobby School of Public Affairs shows Paxton leading Cornyn by a 3-point margin. Paxton is polling at 48% among voters likely to cast ballots in the GOP runoff election on May 26, while Cornyn is polling at 45%. The poll is within margin of error, which sits at +/- 2.83%.
