Don't be cocksure. If the SAME POLL that shows Cruz and O'Rourke tied shows Abbott leading by double digits, that's a sure sign that Cruz is in trouble. And when the poll shows in excess of 20 percent are undecided, that spells even more trouble because a well-known incumbent like Cruz would never have such a high percentage of undecideds if he were in fact sailing to re-election.
Polls showed Kerry beating Bush...Clinton beating Trump. How much stock do you really want to put into polls?
David Dewhurst at one point was so far ahead of Cruz 6 years ago that Ted's poll numbers were at 15%.
How did that work out for David Dewhurst. The vast majority of Texans reject Liberalism. We have small pockets that are Liberal enclaves...buy by and large the state is bright red. And we don't like all the Hollyweird types pouring money in from out of state.
Outsiders from northern states don't really understand Texas politics.
But it's fun watching you try to prognosticate.
