Poll: 62% of likely Republicans say Ken Paxton should resign

Also in the poll, 53% of self-identified Tea Partiers agree Paxton should step down

In part two of a poll commissioned by the Texas Bipartisan Justice Committee, 62% of likely Republican voters said they would like to see embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton resign.

Perhaps surprisingly, 53% of self-identified Tea Party voters agreed that Paxton should step down following his indictment in Collin County on felony charges related to securities fraud.
