Texas Senate Race
Texas’ race for Senator is getting a little closer in the polls. John Cornyn (R), the incumbent, is up against Rick Noriega (D).
This is the second poll in a row where Cornyn’s numbers are below 50%. But don’t read too much into it. Cornyn has raised A LOT more money than Noriega. In addition, a Democrat hasn’t won a state-wide office in Texas in 10 years! The Dallas Morning News doesn’t think Noriega really has a shot, and CQ Politics rates the race as ‘Republican Favorite.’
