Poll: Cruz up 9 in Texas Senate race
By Tal Axelrod - 09/18/18 01:20 PM EDT
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a nine-point edge over opponent Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) in the Lone Star State’s Senate race, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
About 54 percent of likely Texas voters support Cruz, compared with 45 percent who support O’Rourke.
While both have net-positive favorability ratings, Cruz’s margin is greater than his opponent’s. About 52 percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of Cruz, compared to 43 percent who have an unfavorable opinion. Roughly 43 percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of O’Rourke, whereas 42 percent have an unfavorable opinion.
The upcoming midterm cycle is largely considered to be a referendum on President Trump. Likely voters are split 49-49 on the president’s job approval.
Cruz's 9-point edge in the polls differs from other recent surveys, which have O’Rourke only down four to five points. Republicans have grown increasingly concerned about Cruz holding on.

The survey still had Indies too high, and I could find no other demographic info on their sample, such as age or rural/surburban/urban.

In that article about what would be the closest Senate races, 10 that could flip, this race wasn't in there. That article was probably correct broadly speaking.

This poll has Abbott +20, so Ted is still somehow coming in with an undervote of about 10 points.

Mars is a pretty right wing area. It went for Trump by 30 I think. You should like it.
