DALLAS - Six days before Super Tuesday, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are now tied in Texas, according to a new public opinion poll commissioned by WFAA-TV.
Cruz and Trump both had 32 percent support from likely and actual GOP primary voters, with a 3.9 percent margin of error.
It is the most recent survey of Texas voters and the first one to show Cruz no longer leading in his home state.

At this point, this is about as good as a loss for Cruz.
A “Texas” poll survey HERE, versus a “CNN” New Jersey (Monmouth Univ) poll.
Cruz, a politician and lawyer, promised Texas a wall, but failed to deliver
Donald Trump, a builder, promising Texas a wall and it will get built
I can see why Cruz is having trouble in his home state
Are you implying that one is more accurate then the other?
How many times are the Trumpets going to post this poll? 10? 20? 30?
About 1:3 as much as the Cruzers posting the other hatchet job a of a poll
Cruz 2024?
The one done by professionals who’ve been in business for ages?
I still have to say that the only way we will know for sure what is going on in TX is when a poll covering Thursday, Friday and Saturday comes out. Hopefully, there will be one like that. It would take into account the NV caucus results, tonight’s debate, and all the campaigning that is going on down there. Trump is holding a big rally in Fort Worth tomorrow at noon, I’m sure Cruz is busy shoring up his support as well.
Texas is not winner take all. Most delegates are awarded by district with the leader getting two and the runner up getting one if nobody gets a majority. The at large are also proportional. Cruz could win and only get a few more delegates than Trump. Meanwhile Trump is looking very good in the winner take all states. A victory for Cruz could be as pyrrhic as his Iowa victory.
The big deal is not that Cruz wins Texas, it's that he's been forced to defend it.
While he's doing that, Trump is sweeping the "Southern Firewall" on Tuesday. The polling I've seen today is stunning from Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia.
Georgia, in particular, could end up being "winner take all" since candidates must break 20% to participate in delegate allocation, and only Trump does that. Again, just the poll I've seen.
I’m a Trump man, and I think Cruz wins Texas.

***A question: If a candidate(s) does not meet a threshold in a given state, does that mean the candidate(s) that do exceed the threshold get ALL of the delegates available?
The Rubio vote in TX seems to be the Jebbie vote for the disgruntled.
The Kasich TX vote must be transplanted Midwesterners.
