The Dallas Express CEO Chris Putnam expects historic voter turnout across Texas as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and state Rep. James Talarico (D-District 50) enter the final stretch of their U.S. Senate contest.<\/p>\n

Putnam joined Fox News\u2019 The Will Cain Show to discuss the race. The program shared<\/a> a clip October 22, highlighting long lines at polling places and energized voters in its description of Putnam\u2019s turnout forecast.<\/p>\n

A Fox News poll<\/a> released October 21 placed Paxton and Talarico at 49% each among likely Texas voters. Its likely-voter sample included 1,398 respondents, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n

Researchers conducted the survey October 15-19. Talarico held a two-point edge in the September survey, 51% to Paxton\u2019s 49%.<\/p>\n

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins reported<\/a> 76,079 first-day early voters on October 19. He also said the county had already surpassed its opening-day turnout in the 2024 presidential election that afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Express previously covered<\/a> Dallas County\u2019s early-voting surge, including the comparison with recent presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Early voting in Texas runs through October 30, and Election Day falls November 3, according to the Texas Secretary of State\u2019s election calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Registered voters may cast early ballots<\/a> at any early voting location in their county of registration. Polling hours vary by location, and voters can check their county elections office for details.<\/p>\n
