Some good news today out of Texas courtesy of Public Policy Polling’s latest poll:
Democrat Beto O’Rourke trails Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz by single digits — 45-37 percent — according to new internal polling released by a Democratic group aimed at keeping corporate money out of politics.
End Citizens United’s poll, released Wednesday morning, comes weeks after Cruz’s campaign released its own internal numbers showing him leading O’Rourke 52-34 percent, with 13 percent undecided.
O’Rourke, a Democratic congressman from El Paso, has vowed not to accept money from corporate political action committees for his Senate bid. He was the first Senate challenger ECU endorsed for the 2018 midterms.
The poll was conducted from January 17-18. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percent. It surveyed 757 Texas voters, 73 percent on landline telephones and 27 percent online.
It’s still too early but it’s clear this race is tightening and we have a great shot here. Let’s give Lyin’ Ted the boot. Click here to donate and get involved with Beto’s campaign.
