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.

“Oh, I see you have never been to Texas...”
I have no doubt native Texans woud never vote for the modern Democrat party. But Texas is plagued with the same things that mad California deep blue by the 1990’s..
California was overrun with transplants from the northeast as well as a massive wave illegal aliens. That is how we became deep blue.
A lot of Californians that voted for these liberals that screwed this state are now leaving because they can no longer afford the taxes and fees. Number one destination for these people? Texas because of it’s strong economy lower taxes. But these people will go there and vote for the Wendy Davis’s of the world.
2016 was a warning sign that Texas is close to becoming purple. Trump only got 52% in Texas. Hillary was the best performing Democrat candidate in Texas since Jimmy Carter won the state in 1976.
Democrats are cock roaches. The spread out.
Sure they. Beto wont be able to run away from who he is and remember Texas was in play right? PLEEZE!! This wont be close
Haven’t been in Texas have you? Yes at one time the democrats
ruled Texas but those days are gone.
Primary results
Dem Beto O’Rourke... 641,324
GOP Ted Cruz......... 1,317,450
Now tell me where Beto is going to make up that difference?
Quit now, Ted.
Your moment has passed, even you have to see that.
“Agree, even less likely is a Dem winning a US Senate seat in Alabama...”
You’re always a font of endless defeatism and negativity.
Again...i see you have never been to Texas. Stop embarrassing yourself prune picker.
“You’re always a font of endless defeatism and negativity.”
Who won in Alabama?
Oh, Horseshit.
Same people were touting Abortion Barbie’s chances in the last gubernatorial election.
I wouldn’t beto on O’Rourke...
Oooh, sarcasm!
LOL!
“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”.”
Hey dumbass, if you could actually read and comprehend what I wrote, you would likely come to the conclusion that I did neither of those things.
So, I can only conclude you cannot comprehend what you read and are stupid.
You DO realize there's a significant difference, don't you?
Unlike Judge Roy, Ted Cruz is not a child molester...
You’re not from around here, are you?
No, Texas is plagued with Californians...
He/she is such an obvious troll
What about the fact Texas had a Democrat Governor just a minute ago. A woman too. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
I agree, but unlike Ted Cruz, Roy Moore supported Trump from the moment he locked up the nomination.
——Agree, even less likely is a Dem winning a US Senate seat in Alabama...-——
Not hardly....more like the GOP gave up a seat....
Any other candidate but Roy Moore would have won easily....
Pathetic that so many FReepers are so anti-Cruz. Really pathetic.
Note the demographics:
Republican - 31%
Dimocrat 24%
Independent and “Other” - 46%
Really?
