Poll Shows Cruz Ahead After Weeks of Beto Worry
Kim Chipman, Korey Matthews, Greg Sullivan 8 hours ago
Republican Senator Ted Cruz got some good news today after a week of headlines showcasing his unexpectedly stiff competition in the Texas Senate race.
Cruz leads Democratic Representative Beto O’Rourke 54 percent to 45 percent among likely voters, according to a
poll from Quinnipiac University. If that wasn’t good enough for Cruz,
93 percent of likely Texas voters say they’ve already made up their mind on who to support.
O’Rourke garnered increased attention after some earlier polls in the heavily Republican state
showed him narrowing Cruz’s lead to just a few points, spurring Republicans to warn against complacency and President Donald Trump to plan what he promised would be a massive campaign rally in the state in October.

O’Rourke is counting on surging turnout including among new or infrequent voters who might get missed in a poll’s screening for likely voters in order to flip a Senate seat that hasn’t been held by a Democrat since 1993. O’Rourke also has proven to be an adept fundraiser. He raised $23.6 million through June, compared with the $13.2 million Cruz raised for this election cycle.
Cruz has another advantage -- he’ll be running alongside a popular Republican governor (approval rating 62%) who is expected to coast to re-election. The Quinnipiac poll of 807 likely Texas voters showed Governor Greg Abbott leads former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez 58 percent to 39 percent. The Texas poll had an error margin of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
but "Beto" the Homo is winning the yard sign vote.
bahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa
