Here’s hoping this proves true! “Internal polls” can be notoriously over-optimistic.
Very nice!
Go Ted!!!
That’s good news, hope it’s accurate, and I know I’ll be voting for him come the 31st.
This is great news. It has a downside, though. Dewhurst will be doubling down on his execrably dishonest ads. Those ads will make watching tv absolutely insufferable.
Ted Cruz is endorsed by Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rick Santorum, and Rand Paul to name a few.
GOP-e is still pulling for the tax-raising Dewhurst.
This is great news if accurate. Cruz may be the first beneficiary of the Robert’s betrayal.
Great news for TEA Party supporters and America and bad news for the RINOs who support Dewhurst.
It is indeed great news, but....why on Earth would they release that data? I wouldn’t have. Cruz is the underdog and I think it would only help him if people continued to see him that way.
Cruz isn’t and won’t be perfect, for the Tea Party crowd, but I have no doubt he will be light years better than Dewhearst. Cruz will get my vote....
Go Cruz!!!
I don’t believe this poll. Keep fighting as if Ted is 10 behind, because it may be rigged to make us cocky.
Ted is a great candidate with a compelling family story as his father escaped the brutality of Castro’s Communist Cuba back in 1957.
This poll is great news for patriots in Texas and across the USA.
Just sent him some money I couldn’t really afford, but I am p*ssed so did it anyway.
Did anyone know that Cruz's father is Satan? I didn't either, until that poll.
Anyway, I had fun with it after I realized what was going on.
Didn’t someone say the Tea Party is dead? Hehehehe!
In a run-off election who knows what will happen. But it is better than a poll showing him down. If you’re in Texas get out and vote.
An internal poll maybe correct but should be taken with a grain of salt. There haven’t been any major polling since back in May. There is one more debate scheduled for July 17 in Dallas hosted by WFAA tv.
July 31 and 100+ temperatures may make for an interesting run off. It may well come down to which one can get their supporters to the polls in an election with not many races on the ballot.
The candidate that spends some effort getting Seniors, 65+ in age to use mail in ballots and not have to endure the heat may be in the best position to win.
The poll surveyed 750 likely Republican runoff voters June 24-26 with a 3.6-point margin of error. Cruz had 96 percent name identification among those voters and Dewhurst had 98 percent name identification.
Sixty percent of those surveyed viewed Cruz favorably, with 21 percent saying they had an unfavorable opinion of him. Dewhurst had an almost identical favorability rating, 59 percent, while 30 percent viewed him unfavorably.
UPDATE: Sources close to the Dewhurst campaign say they see the race dramatically differently, and that their polling indicates Dewhurst has a comfortable advantage in the race.
Go Ted!
I’m voting for Cruz on my absentee ballot that I will cast and put in the mail the day before I leave the country on vacation.
