HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A New York Times/Siena poll shows Democratic candidates leading in two major Texas races ahead of Election Day, but political experts say voters should view the results with caution.

The poll put Democratic candidate James Talarico up 6 points over Republican candidate Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race, and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa up 4 points over Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

Experts told ABC13 the results are surprising and not in line with other polls currently out.
