The article discusses a recent poll conducted<\/a> by One nation, aligned with the Senate Leadership Fund, showing Texas Senator John Cornyn gaining ground against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the upcoming Senate race. In a direct head-to-head matchup, Cornyn and Paxton are tied at 39% each. in a three-way race including Congressman Wesley Hunt, Cornyn leads with 32%, Paxton follows with 31%, and Hunt holds 17%. This marks a significant reversal for Cornyn, who previously trailed Paxton by 8% in last month’s poll. <\/p>\n

The shift in polling is attributed in part to scandals surrounding Paxton, including a public divorce amid allegations of infidelity, which Cornyn’s campaign has actively used to question Paxton’s character and fitness for office. Cornyn’s team recently requested documents<\/a> to investigate whether Paxton misused taxpayer money related to his alleged affair. Senate Leadership Fund officials praised Cornyn’s conservative record and framed the poll results as evidence of voter trust in him over Paxton. The ongoing controversy has negatively impacted Paxton’s support and boosted Cornyn’s position as the likely frontrunner in the 2026 Texas Senate primary.
