(WHTM) - A new Emerson College Polling survey of the 2026 U.S. Senate race in Texas shows Republican voters are split between incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The survey of 491 Texas Republican primary voters shows Cornyn leading Paxton 30% to 29% with 37% undecided and 5% supporting another candidate.
The poll also surveyed how each Republican candidate would fare against Democratic Party candidate Colin Allred. Paxton led Allred 46% to 41%, while Cornyn led 45% to 38% in the poll of 1,000 Texas voters.
When asked about Texas Republicans' plan to redistrict the state, 36% of Texas voters supported the move, 26% were undecided, and 38% opposed.
Fifty-eight percent of Republicans in Texas supported redistricting, while 70% of Texas Democrats were opposed. Forty-three percent of Texas Independents surveyed opposed redistricting.
The poll's full results are available on the Emerson College Polling website.
Joining the show this week are John Wittman, Republican consultant and Partner at PLUS Communications, and Manny Garcia, Democratic consultant and Co-Founder at Seeker Strategies.
