Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas received bad news on Tuesday morning as new polling data was released concerning his place in the GOP primary for 2026.
The poll revealed that Cornyn has slipped behind Attorney General Ken Paxton by an astounding 22 points, 50 percent to 28 percent. The independent survey was obtained by Punchbowl News.
Sen. Cornyn’s position in the primary has continued to spiral downward, as the poll also found that of those who participated in the survey, only 27 percent want to see him win reelection, while 54 percent are ready for someone new to occupy his seat in the Senate. Cornyn has been in office since 2002.
Robert Blizzard, a GOP pollster, conducted the poll by surveying 600 GOP primary voters between the dates of May 27-28. The poll was conducted on behalf of the nonpartisan, nonprofit group, Educational Freedom Institute. The organization pushes for school choice programs.
It would be easy to write this off if it were just one poll. However, over the course of the last 30 days, others have shown abysmal numbers for the incumbent senator. The political action committee backing Cornyn, the Senate Leadership Fund, discovered that he’s fallen 16 points in a survey that was conducted from April 27 to May 1.
During a recent interview on TV, Cornyn was asked why he was now falling behind Paxton. He said it was because of “name identification.” However, only 7 percent of voters polled said they hadn’t heard of Cornyn, while 5 percent had not heard of Paxton.
