AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas voters said they’re leaning more toward sending Sen. Ted Cruz back to Washington rather than unseat him in November, according to new polling numbers released Wednesday.
The April poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Politics Project showed the two-term Republican incumbent leading U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, his Democratic challenger, by double digits.
Pollsters asked a group of 1,200 registered voters between April 12-22 who they would support in the U.S. Senate race if the election was held today. A plurality of the respondents (46%) said they’d vote for Cruz, while 33% shared Allred would get their vote — a difference of 13 percentage points between the two candidates.
The poll also found 15% of these Texas voters had yet to make up their mind on the race, while 7% said they’d rather support someone else.
