New poll has James Talarico up 5 points. From the Texas Tribune:
Since Paxton locked up the GOP nomination in late May, polling of the contest has found a neck-and-neck race with neither candidate able to break 50%. But TPOR’s poll found Talarico leading among voters who do not have a college degree — a group that has consistently favored Republicans in Texas and across the country — and dominating among independents, less than a quarter of whom said they planned to vote for Paxton.

@manton I’m in Plano for the summer. There are lots of centre-right and centre-left folks here. I don’t hear much love for either candidate. But the centre-left still plans to vote. But those I know in the centre-right can’t hold their nose and vote Paxton. He’s too corrupt.
@KyleEssary It’s going to be really interesting. I thought it said a lot that so many Republicans in the house voted to impeach Paxton.
@JimRain As you know, McKinney and Allen are very different from Central/West Plano and Frisco. But it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Collin went blue.
