Republicans showed a more clear divide, giving the Senate higher marks than the House for how the attorney general’s impeachment was handled.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, center, talks with defense attorney Tony Buzbee, left, before closing arguments in his impeachment trial before the Texas Senate on Sept. 15, 2023.The Texas House impeached Paxton in May, and the Senate acquitted him last month — a verdict that continues to roil Texas politics.
Narrowed down to GOP voters, however, there was a starker difference. Republicans gave the House a 36% approval rating to a 22% disapproval rating, while they gave the Senate a 32-point net approval rating — 46% to 14%. The numbers for the two legislative leaders are especially relevant given the intraparty warfare that has since broken out.
When the pollsters first asked in August if Paxton took actions that justify his removal from office, 24% of Republicans agreed and 32% disagreed. That split widened to 27% to 44% in the most recent survey. Asked if they support “establishing a voucher, educational savings account , or other ‘school choice’ program,” voters registered 51% support and 30% opposition. Support was higher among GOP voters, with 66% favoring the proposal and 16% opposing it.
