Cruz Leads O’Rourke 50-44 in October Poll
Breitbart ^ | Oct 8, 2018 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 10/08/2018 9:33:34 AM PDT by 11th_VA

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz leads Democrat challenger Beto O’Rourke 50 to 44 in a CBS YouGov poll conducted October 2-5. The survey of 1,031 registered and likely Texas voters released Sunday showed Cruz with a six point lead over O’Rourke in the more recent CBS battleground tracker poll.

Democrat voters were motivated to vote out of opposition to President Donald Trump while Republican voters indicated their vote for U.S. Senate is motivated out of support for President Trump, according to CBS.

Respondents supporting Cruz indicated a greater draw to his issue stances than personal qualities while O’Rourke supporters relatively evenly supported him on issues and personal qualities.

They called on a Sunday and couldn’t get a majority of Democrats.

Don’t succumb to complacency mode over a CBS poll.

Go VOTE!

Good, and if it’s being reported that lopsided, it’s likely much more lopsided.

WORST CASE for Republicans now is 50-50 Senate

That would be a doomsday scenario indeed. Only way that would've happened is under a dystopian scenario where Pres Jeb Bush announced that Kav should withdraw his nomination because, women. Thankfully we have a fighting general who rallies the electorate. Worst case scenario now is that we only gain a couple senate seats. I'm guessing 5.

Beto knew he wouldn’t win in Texas, his goal is to enhance his national standing for a future run for POTUS.

If the poll includes “registered voters”, it’s already oversampled with Democrats. Cruz is ahead by at least 10%.

As I see it, the Republicans are already +3 in the Senate before the voting is even counted.

That's because McCain has died and both Flake and Corker are retiring. So if we pick up five seats from Democrats, that puts us +8 in pro-Trump terms.

Look at the difference already with McCain already gone.
