Beto O'Rourke in Statistical Dead Heat With Ted Cruz in Quinnipiac Texas Senate Poll
Republican Senator Ted Cruz is confronting an increasingly close race for re-election in GOP-dominated Texas with Democratic U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke pulling within striking distance in a new poll, aided by support from younger voters, women and minorities. O'Rourke is going to need every advantage as Texas hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate since the reelection of Lloyd Benton in 1988. John Cornyn 46 percent to 44 percent in a May poll. O'Rourke is an El Paso Democrat looking to unseat Sen. Other recent polls, such as Gallup's, have similarly found Cruz in a spot of trouble, but "the group of people Gallup is polling is the entire adult population, rather than registered or likely voters", FiveThirtyEight explains.
However, O'Rourke has proven to be an adept fundraiser, raising a massive $6.7 million in the first three months of the year.
Texas has always been Democrat's white whale, with regular talk of a rising blue tide, but the state hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, and Trump won there in 2016 by 9 percentage points.
50 - 37 percent that Cruz would be better on gun policy.
