Well while he are aware that the Times wants Cruz to win, and for that reason alone we need to be on our toes, the results of even 8 percent is skewed due to the sampling techniques.
For example, the following statements are basically the same:
Your face could stop a clock!
When a look at your face, time stands still...
So you have left-leaning polesters asking the questions, questions prior to the candidate question were anti-Republican in general...so what other than they held a poll (and nobody cared...)

Fact is that poll or no poll the near 50% that voted for Davis and voting bloc that elected dems across the board in state wide races and has put in a majority dem assembly exists and will be voting to keep anyone with an R after their name from winning.
Cruz will get anywhere from 30 - near 50% of the vote.
Skewed poll or not, this is reality.
