. . . a recent internal poll conducted for the Cruz for Senate campaign shows Ted leading Dewhurst 49-40.
Ted is leading Dewhurst among nearly every sub-group. Importantly, Ted is dominating self-identified “Tea Party” and “Very Conservative” voters.
Among the 50% of likely runoff voters who are Tea Party aligned, Ted leads 72-22. Among the 60% who are very conservative, Ted leads 58-33.

Go Ted!
Cruz is supported by Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rick Santorum, Mark Levin, etc.
I'll try and dig up Dewhurst’s voting records on your other point.
Ditto on that. I think those ads are lower than low. Disgusting behavior.
I attended rallies (in the early 1970s) to raise funds for the Torriente Plan with former Castro cabinet members and Castro's own sister all of whom hated Castro's guts after having eagerly supported Fidel. Jose de la Torriente was IIRC the former head of Cuban Coca Cola, a sponsor in US Coca Cola of Roberto Goizueta, Sr. who became Coca Cola's Chairman for many years, and the plan was to use Cuban veterans to invade Cuba at Santiago. Torriente was assassinated by a sniper (never identified) who used a rifle to blow his brains out through a screened window as he sat in his own living room watching TV.
OTOH, Dewhurst IS an establishment GOP-E eager to go to Washington to be a faithful servant of the GOP-E leadership. If Dewhurst were to succeed, it would make way for a better Lt. Governor (pretty low bar to jump) in Texas and a minor improvement (lower than a limbo bar to jump) over retiring GOP-E Senator Anne Babyscraper Hutchison (Texas REALLY owes a LOT more to America than Hutchison or Cornyn for that matter).
Dewhurst would be a 67-year-old freshman if elected and Cruz would be a 42-year-old freshman if elected. That's a generation's difference. Why waste a seat on a very old GOP-E like Dewhurst? It isn't as though his track record would suggest favorable comparisons to Reagan. He is just an old ultra-rich guy. That's not enough.
I’m voting for Cruz on my absentee ballot that I will cast and put in the mail the day before I leave the country on vacation.
I laugh at those ads. They are so cartoonish and over the top, I think they hurt Dewhurst.
“That’s good news, hope it’s accurate, and I know I’ll be voting for him come the 31st.”
I’ll donate, and I’ll thank you for casting your vote for Cruz!
Have you noticed that any candidate that is a beacon of freedom, they are catapulted to the fore in short order?
The reckoning is about to occur!
The only collectivism I can tolerate is a collectivist approach toward liberty!
"We’re only surveying people that voted in the 2012 primary. That is the pool of people we are looking at. The screener is, ‘Do you plan to vote in the July 31 runoff?’ Those that say ‘no’ drop out. Those that say ‘yes,’ we continue," [Chris] Perkins said. "I’m expecting high turnout. The number of people opting out of the survey – or the number of people screening themselves out of the survey – are minimal" (Source).
If you're expecting high turnout, your poll shouldn't be limited to 2012 primary voters. Because of how they've narrowed the number of people surveyed, I don't think you're going to get a very accurate result.
Other polls coming out now though.
