Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) might be insurmountably behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) in the primary to keep his seat, a poll shows.
Although other polls have shown Cornyn down by similar margins, this one is significant.
The latest poll was commissioned by the Senate Leadership Fund, a group long-aligned with former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) that supports Cornyn.
The numbers are daunting for Cornyn’s prospects of winning a fifth six-year Senate term.
Cornyn trails Paxton a staggering 56 to 40 in a head-to-head matchup, according to two people briefed on the survey, Punchbowl News reports. The report continues:
In a three-way contest with Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), who is considering a run, Cornyn is down 10. Paxton pulled 44% to Cornyn’s 34%. Hunt got 19% in the three-way race.
The survey, which was conducted from April 27 to May 1 by The Tarrance Group, also tested a general election contest between each potential Republican candidate and former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), who is mulling another Senate run. Cornyn led Allred by 6 points in the poll. Hunt was up 4 points. Paxton was down by 1 point. more
time for corn-hole to gtfo
Cornyn should spend the remainder of his life in GITMO.
Cornhole needs to go!
Messed with Texas and Found Out
I hope that Hunt doesn’t take enough votes away from Paxton to give Cornyn the win. That would stink.
nice

Cornyn is probably…..financing Hunt….
It’s how rinos roll….3rd candidate splits vote…..
rino wins.
Of course, we are seeing the ads about how bad Paxton is. If the RINOs were smart, they would tell us how great Paxton is and how they would prefer him over Cronyn. They just can’t grasp the fact that people trust them about as far as we can throw an elephant.
cornhole is probably figuring how to conspire with the rat-mofo’s on gun control again
The dipshit TX RINOs will literally vote for a communist if it keeps Paxton out of the Senate.
