Welcome to Pollapalooza, our weekly polling roundup.
Poll of the week
A new Texas Senate poll came out this week showing Democratic Rep. Beto ORourke within 1 point of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. It gave new life to a familiar question: Could Texas finally flip blue? Normally, this would be the point where we lecture everyone about the dangers of putting too much stock in one poll. But this poll wasnt even much of an outlier it came on the heels of a few others that also show ORourke within a few points of Cruz. Thats an awfully close race for a state that President Trump won by 9 points in 2016. Is it time to start betting on a Democrat in Texas?
We still say you should hold onto your chips.
OK, first the new survey: Emerson Colleges poll of registered voters, conducted online and through robo-calls, reported 38 percent support for Cruz and 37 percent for ORourke, well within the polls 4-point margin of error. About a fifth of respondents remained undecided.
Emerson was the sixth consecutive pollster in our database to find the Texas Senate race within single digits....

I do, He prolonged his Trump hate for far too long.
Then he got himself filmed playing basketball
I think he is in trouble if the hardcore Trump voters dont get excited about Cruz again. Cruz was an idiot at the convention, but yall gotta let it go and vote, volunteer, and get some money to Cruz.
I believe with all the anti-trump media shenanigans and socialist candidates most Texans will be voting the party line of Republicans.
So Ted should pull it out.
If Texas turns retarded and votes for a rat instead of Cruz, well; that’s pretty retarded.
If there is any question, the Trump-Cruz mega rally in October (at Cowboys Stadium?) should resolve it.
I don’t believe for a moment this election is going to be a problem for Ted.
My guess is that he is not, and my hope is that he is re-elected.
Lots of illegal Meeheecans and dead people will be voting
He wouldn’t be if he had kept his mind on being a good Senator for Texas.
Then he got himself filmed playing basketball
Cruz will win easily, by 7-10 points.
2018 Primary
D Votes @1,000,000
R Votes @1,500,000
Beto the Hit & Run expert ?
The poll they’re talking about here is B.S. Look at its topline numbers, for both Cruz and Beto, they’re both in the 30s. Cruz in all the RCP polls is like 49%, 51%, 51%, 47%.
There is no way in hell there are that many undecided voters this late in the race. Junk poll.
Fake polling to fabricate a facade of viability for Beto is needed to have any hope of pulling shenanigans.
And of course, how much does conventional wisdom really know?
Hard to tell.....Mr. Warmth had better be working hard because his campaign manager Roe is an idiot
If we lose Texas, we lose America.
What are the cross tabs? Party distribution etc
