Incumbent Republican John Cornyn remains a near certainty for reelection to the U.S. Senate in Texas.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Texas Voters shows Cornyn with 50% support to Democratic challenger David Alameel’s 29%. Six percent (6%) like another candidate in the race, and 15% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Expect several retirement announcements in the next year!
29% Alameel that about aligns with the percentage jump in Islamic immigration under Obama
“That’s a large percentage of undecideds though. Any thoughts why?”
Could be the conservatives that remember Cornyn’s miserable failures as head of the NRSC, endorsing men like Specter, Crist, helping Murkowski while letting conservatives twist in the wind, his cloture votes to help Reid and McConnell screw conservatives.
Could be any number of reasons. But I think the people across the country are sick of these types, no matter what the party.
John “Kay Bailout Hutchinson, Jr.” Cornyn is a GOPe, POS!
We Texans should have flushed him down the drain during the primaries (I did my part), but even this POS is “slightly” better than a Democrat!
I wrote “slightly”, because Cornyn will vote against his constituents, if the GOPe hints, asks, demands, or otherwise, directs him! He is as squishy, and spineless as K. Bailout Hutchinson!
MuslimRat vs RINO. Why is anyone surprised about the 21% undecided?
Cornyn would probably become the Senate GOP leader if by some miracle McConnell lost, and there wouldn’t be a tangible difference in how Republicans in that chamber acted.
Cronyn won with 54.82% in 2008 and with 55.29% in 2002.
Alameel is the one with the hill to climb to make it competitive.
Cornyn is a go along/get along moderate politician (mind you I didn't say statesman) who votes party line.
Working with McConnell, McCain, Graham to do whatever they can to defeat conservatives in the senate.
Cornyn is the used car salesman of the senate.
What’s the difference between Cornhole and the dim?
Well, he’ll probably win, but he won’t do it with my vote.
the classic RINO Cornyn will not get this conservative’s vote.
I won’t vote for cornball, but he will easily win.
We didn’t have a solid conservative opponent in the primaries. Steve Stockton looked positively mental and showed very poor judgement with his trip to Israel in the middle of a campaign. The other guy (Duval?) seemed ok on the issues, but looked like an amateur in how the campaign was run. Cornball on the other hand had some amazing commercials that would have convinced me to vote for him if I was a low information conservative.
A national level office is the big leagues and not a good place to learn the ropes. That is why the down-ballot races are so important. Get conservative candidates into offices where they will learn to campaign and we get to see them put those promises into action. The ones who can win and deliver should be rewarded with a chance at a bigger office.
