The difference appears to be largely undecided voters.
28% in the Senate race are undecided, while only 11% in the President race are undecided. And while the undecided are spread among R/D/I in the Senate race, most of the undecided are Independent in the President race.
Cornyn outperforming trump by 9 points could be the hidden trump vote.
Yeah, I can't imagine a significant number of people in Texas voting for Cornyn, but not Trump.
Spez: I dug out the crosstabs, and they were interesting. See my other reply.
I’ll play devil’s advocate
Gov. Abbott over Valdez (55.8-42.5) (13.3%)
Lt. Gov Patrick over Collier (51.30-46.49) (4.81%)
Sen. Cruz over Beto (50.89-48.33) (2.56%)
AG Paxton over Nelson (50.57-47.01) (3.56%)
It is completely possible to have a vote gap in Texas
I went to look at the cross tabs for the poll:

This is all likely voters (LV):

That is strange. I would think hidden voters would show up more as undecided. Surprising to see senate race with more undecideds
Cornyn is a fluff senator imo. He talks a big game but I literally don’t know a single thing he’s done and I’ve lived here all my life
Cornyn is not MAGA. He's like Romney from what i've seen.
He’s loved by the establishment, he’s a do nothing who survives on god and pro choice
(Not saying they’re bad, I’m saying that’s all he relies on)
