In a poll released Thursday by Public Policy Polling, former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz leads Lt. Governor David Dewhurst 49-44 in the Republican primary runoff for the U.S. Senate seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Cruz leads 59-36 among voters "very excited" about voting in the election. Dewhurst leads 70-20 among moderate voters. The PPP report noted that runoff elections are notoriously difficult to poll, but that Cruz' chances look good based on his lead in the poll and his substantial lead with voters most likely to vote in the election, the "very excited voters."

For the first time in YEARS (I emigrated to Texas from California) my vote COUNTS!
Voted for Cruz in the primary and I’ll vote for him in the General.
Cruz to victory.
I like it! Dewhurt's RINO supporters may not like it (both of them). But TEA Party supporters should.
A real smack at the establishment GOP.
I am one of the “very excited voters” for 2 reasons: 1. Voting for Cruz at the end of this month, and 2. All those horrible “Cruz and the Chinese government” commercials Dewhurst is running all the time will finally go away.
Dittos...2 other reasons I’m “very excited” to vote for Cruz ~ [1] this is likely my best chance to stick it to the GOPe for the foreseeable future & [2] the end of the robo-calls.
Dog gone right. If Dewhurst is elected it will be a continuation of KBH.
