. . . 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.

This is encouraging news. It appears that Ted Cruz may be able to defeat establishment RINO David Dewhurst in the Texas Republican primary runoff for the U. S. Senate.

Here’s hoping this proves true! “Internal polls” can be notoriously over-optimistic.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

Very nice!

Go Ted!!!

[izzatzo]

That’s good news, hope it’s accurate, and I know I’ll be voting for him come the 31st.

[Paine in the Neck]

This is great news. It has a downside, though. Dewhurst will be doubling down on his execrably dishonest ads. Those ads will make watching tv absolutely insufferable.

I am so glad to see Ted Cruz surging. I sent him some bucks.

Ted Cruz is endorsed by Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rick Santorum, and Rand Paul to name a few.

GOP-e is still pulling for the tax-raising Dewhurst.

Great news but crap. Cruz’s campaign already called me 6 times.

[ilgipper]

This is great news if accurate. Cruz may be the first beneficiary of the Robert’s betrayal.

Great news for TEA Party supporters and America and bad news for the RINOs who support Dewhurst.

[Sporke]

It is indeed great news, but....why on Earth would they release that data? I wouldn’t have. Cruz is the underdog and I think it would only help him if people continued to see him that way.

Cruz isn’t and won’t be perfect, for the Tea Party crowd, but I have no doubt he will be light years better than Dewhearst. Cruz will get my vote....

I just love it when the Tea Party and independent conservatives rock the GOP boat.

Hilarious to see the establishment freaking out.

[Sans-Culotte]

Go Cruz!!!

[montag813]

I don’t believe this poll. Keep fighting as if Ted is 10 behind, because it may be rigged to make us cocky.

[Uncle Slayton]

Ted is a great candidate with a compelling family story as his father escaped the brutality of Castro’s Communist Cuba back in 1957.

This poll is great news for patriots in Texas and across the USA.

“Here’s hoping this proves true! “Internal polls” can be notoriously over-optimistic”

Or for fund raising. However I hope it is true.

[manic4organic]

Just sent him some money I couldn’t really afford, but I am p*ssed so did it anyway.

I received an interesting call from a "pollster" last night on this race. The questions she asked as to what facts about each candidate would sway my vote painted Cruz in absolutely the most diabolical light, I could tell it was a Dewhurst organization conducting it.

Did anyone know that Cruz's father is Satan? I didn't either, until that poll.

Anyway, I had fun with it after I realized what was going on.

Didn’t someone say the Tea Party is dead? Hehehehe!
