Poll: Cruz , O'Rourke Neck and Neck
Realclearpolitics ^ | April 18, 2018

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke are in a statistical dead heat, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Cruz led O’Rourke, 47 percent-44 percent, which is within the margin of error, according to a survey from Quinnipiac. It’s the first major public poll of the race and is likely to fuel Democratic hopes that the little-known three-term El Paso congressman is in the running to unseat Cruz.

I said a week ago that Democrats would be competitive fr Cruz’s seat. People ripped me for it. But I really believe Republicans are in that bad of shape they will lose some seats in deep red states.

After what happened in 2016, I wouldn't make an election bet with your money.

If the Bush League Republican fails to win the nomination the GOPe helps the Democrat win.
Has happened many times already.

If Cruz would focus on being a good Senator he might even be a great one.

Enough people do not believe that Cubanadians are eligible to keep him from being President, so he should just forget it.

You show up hyping the Democrat in every one of these. Don’t you? The media wouldn’t tell us Reagan was eighteen points ahead and seeking a fifty state win. That’s how they run their polls.

Q poll. Dismiss it out of hand.


Thanks.

Good to know. I quickly glanced at source (RCP).
We recently took a drive West - from SE to W of Hill Country - and only saw one (BIG) Beto billboard.

Hope Cruz out-plasters Robert’s signs, all across the Lone Star State.

The reason O’Rourke is even close in Texas is because Cruz is a lyin’ scumbag with no principles.

There's nothing like coming to FR and seeing "members" openly supporting low life Democrats like O'Rourke, by trying to present Cruz as "worse".

It's the same sickness NeverTrumpers have........

BTW, I'm in Texas and I'll take Cruz, and even Cornyn, over ANY Democrat running in the state.

To my knowledge, no one from El Paso has ever won a statewide election. Beto won’t be the first.

I lived in El Paso for about 15 years. Very few people outside of El Paso give a hoot about it.
