. . . a recent internal poll conducted for the Cruz for Senate campaign shows Ted leading Dewhurst 49-40.
Ted is leading Dewhurst among nearly every sub-group. Importantly, Ted is dominating self-identified Tea Party and Very Conservative voters.
Among the 50% of likely runoff voters who are Tea Party aligned, Ted leads 72-22. Among the 60% who are very conservative, Ted leads 58-33.

And your evidence that this is a push-poll is zero, miss, just like every time you try to offer up any substance in your critique of Cruz. Thus far all you've said is "Harvard," "Goldman Sachs" (even though Dewhurst is the one with the huge advantage in lobbyist dollars) and pointed out that Cruz was wearing what, in your faaaabulous fashion sense, was the wrong clothing.
Paid Dewhurst troll newb, you're so obvious.
“...compelling family story as his father escaped the brutality Castros Communist Cuba back in 1957.”
Yeah, makes a great STORY. Except it wasn’t Castros Communist Cuba back in 1957.
“GOP-e is still pulling for the tax-raising Dewhurst.”
No they are not. They are pulling for Cruz.
And the tax accusation is just Cruz campaign lies.
As a Native Texan, I am paying attention to this one from Florida. I watched the debate on live streaming and Ted came away from that one the decisive winner in content and delivery. I would think the debate was the biggest reason for his surge.
GOP-e for Cruz? Now that is the best one I have heard in a month!
I can see your biases all the way from Florida! As a matter of fact, even Ray Charles could see it if he were still alive.
I watched that debate with a number of folks I had not previously known and immediately polled them afterwards. Not one of them thought Dewhurst won the debate and the VAST majority, some of which had been Dewhurst supporters previously, said that they were now definitely going to vote for Ted Cruz.
gnat is a pest bought and paid for by the DEWhurst campaign. Ignore the fool is my advice!
“GOP-e for Cruz? Now that is the best one I have heard in a month!”
Now there’s a totally unsupported denial of the truth. They don’t get much more GOP-e than the Bush family, yet they are supporting Cruz. You didn’t even know that?
I know he is a pest by his handle. Not sure if you have them in Texas but the gnats we have around here are more commonly referred to as “Flying Teeth” as well as “No-see-ums”. If you are familiar with them, you know what I mean by his handle being a perfect descriptor.
Do you walk to work or carry your lunch?
In a run-off election who knows what will happen. But it is better than a poll showing him down. If you’re in Texas get out and vote.
George P. Bush (nephew of W.) endorsed Cruz and had also endorsed Rubio in the Florida senate race.
But, now I guess you are going to give us some rather long-winded explanation of how great Crist was and the Rubio was the real GOP-e candidate.
Cruz is the man. Dewhurst is nick named do- worst. He is “establishment”. They almost had a riot at the state convention trying to cram him down the conventioneers. I expect Cruz to have a good chance because idiots wont know there is a run off and idiots are for the Rockefeller establishment. like romney.

An internal poll maybe correct but should be taken with a grain of salt. There haven’t been any major polling since back in May. There is one more debate scheduled for July 17 in Dallas hosted by WFAA tv.
July 31 and 100+ temperatures may make for an interesting run off. It may well come down to which one can get their supporters to the polls in an election with not many races on the ballot.
The candidate that spends some effort getting Seniors, 65+ in age to use mail in ballots and not have to endure the heat may be in the best position to win.
You got it 100% on the Bush kids. Jeb Jr. joined George P. in endorsing Rubio. Although I think Rubio is getting too comfortable in DC already, all I have to do is think back to just how bad Crist was a our Governor and would have been as Senator.
I will never forgive the NRSC endorsing Crist the moment he announced three months before the primary. I would say that Floridians know a thing or two about the GOP-e. Obviously much more than gnat.
>>been suckered in by the Harvard career politician Cruz campaign.<<
Now now....no sour grapes.
The poll surveyed 750 likely Republican runoff voters June 24-26 with a 3.6-point margin of error. Cruz had 96 percent name identification among those voters and Dewhurst had 98 percent name identification.
Sixty percent of those surveyed viewed Cruz favorably, with 21 percent saying they had an unfavorable opinion of him. Dewhurst had an almost identical favorability rating, 59 percent, while 30 percent viewed him unfavorably.
UPDATE: Sources close to the Dewhurst campaign say they see the race dramatically differently, and that their polling indicates Dewhurst has a comfortable advantage in the race.
Shaddup.
