NYT/Siena Poll Examines Paxton’s Texas Senate Race

The New York Times/Siena poll found Ken Paxton and James Talarico tied at 47% in the Texas Senate race among likely voters.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize other findings favoring Talarico and the possible Senate-control stakes. Center outlets connect the tie to questions about Paxton’s electability and Cornyn’s criticism of the SAVE Act. Right-leaning outlets frame it as a competitive race while highlighting concerns about Paxton and vulnerabilities for both candidates.
