That’s according to a new poll out Friday from the Texas Politics Project, which surveyed 1,200 voters in the state.
In this July 29, 2015, file photo, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton speaks during a hearing in Austin.
Among all registered voters, 47% surveyed said they did think Paxton took actions as attorney general that warrant his removal, while only 18 % said they did not. About a third, 35%, said they didn’t know or had no opinion. The balance was more tilted among Democrats; 71% said yes and only 8% said no, while just 21% said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
“Tellingly a big chunk — 35% — didn’t offer an opinion. So, while the public is not the direct jury on this, there is a lot of negative sentiment, but a big share of the jury is still out,” he told KERA.
