You want a raw string, as you did correctly in two other places
in the code. A raw string tells Python not to use the backslash
as an escape.
(Chris said backspace, but he meant backslash)
You specify raw string by the letter r just before the quote.

Change to:
plt.title(r'$\mathrm{poles}$ $(\times)$ \
$\mathrm{\&}$ $\mathrm{zeros}$ \
$(\circ)$ $\mathrm{of}$ $T(s)T(-s)$',\
fontsize=16)
