The Texas Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) is neck and neck, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
The 2018 Texas Lyceum Poll showed Cruz leading O’Rourke by a hair — 41 percent to 39 percent, respectively, among likely voters. That’s well within the survey’s margin of error of 4.67 percentage points of 441 likely voters.
That’s a particularly tight margin for Texas, which has not elected a Democrat to the Senate in three decades.

Apparently it is close enough to be concerned.
Also look up the primary turnout earlier this year. Cruz got more votes than all democrats combined.
