Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz has a 54 - 45 percent likely voter lead over U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, his Democratic challenger, in the Texas Senate race, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today.
This is the first survey of likely voters in this race by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll, and can not be compared to earlier surveys of registered voters. Among Texas likely voters who choose a candidate, 93 percent say their mind is made up. That includes 94 percent of Cruz backers and 92 percent of O'Rourke backers.
Women are divided as 50 percent back Cruz and 48 percent back O'Rourke. Men back Cruz 57 - 42 percent. White voters back Cruz 66 - 32 percent. O'Rourke leads 97 - 3 percent among black voters and 54 - 45 percent among Hispanic voters.
Republicans back Cruz 94 - 6 percent, as Democrats go to O'Rourke 94 - 4 percent. Independent voters are divided with 51 percent for O'Rourke and 47 percent for Cruz.
Will start posting early vote data on FL starting next week.
Beta O’Rourke is losing?
Good.
FYI
Glad to see it. What Texas voters would see in a schlub like O’Rourke defies logic.
Did anyone really believe otherwise?
How did this happen?
I’m glad it did. Hopefully, Ted can keep it going till November.
Blue Wave Toilet Flush
The BS out there is designed to get the GOP to waste money in California and Texas.
Good news.
I vowed not to vote for Cruz after his antics at the Republican Convention in 2016. But I’ve come to my senses.
There are so many Beto yard signs in my neighborhood, it drives me crazy. But I won’t put a Cruz (or Trump) sign up in front of my house or sticker on my car so it isn’t vandalized. I’m guessing many people take that view.
Cruz will win comfortably.
Quinnipiac is so inaccurate, this is the first time I have been concerned about Cruz.
The Q poll is not overweighted with Pubbies. The tide has turned.
Beto must be swatted now, before he Frankensteins into a national figure and is given a clear path to the presidency by the white liberal democrats and GOP Inc.
That is kinda funny. I know what you mean though.
Beat Off O Dork gets the reality check. Since this is Queeny Pak it’s worse for him.
That is true. If he were somehow to win, he immediately becomes Obama 2.0, the Irishman.
The libs were counting on Texas going blue in 2016. It was never going to happen. Just like O’Rourke beating Cruz is never going to happen.
But But, Texas is in play..Republicans are scared Ted Cruz will lose..according to the Commie media LOL
9 points not 10. Give them their moral victory.
Beto O’Rourke - the only Mexican on the planet who tosses down three jars of Guiness stout before breakfast. What a bad joke.
Good
