New polling shows impeachment drama points to a summer of sweating for Ken Paxton
AUSTIN — As the drama surrounding suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton moves to the Texas Senate court of impeachment, the court of public opinion appears to be lining up against him.
A new poll by the Texas Politics Project shows that fully one-half of Texans believe the House was correct in bringing the 20-count indictment while only 17% disagreed. Those numbers add to what is likely to be a very hot and sweaty summer for the three-term Republican who will remain in political and legal limbo until his Senate trial begins the day after Labor Day.
Paxton can take little solace in the poll numbers even if the Democratic and independent respondents were factored out. Just over 3 in 10 Republicans said impeachment was the right course. That's just a tick higher than the Republicans who thought impeachment was wrongheaded.
Nearly 40% of Republicans said they had no opinion on the matter.
