Ted Cruz is In BIG TROUBLE and Needs Your Help [HELP NOW]

According to a poll released on Wednesday, the Senate election in Texas is between Sen. Ted Cruz (R) and Rep. Colin Allred (D). It is a virtual tie.

In the Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey, Cruz was marginally ahead of Allred by 1 percentage point, with 48 percent to 47 percent of the vote and 5 percent who were undecided.

This is even more competitive than Emerson’s previous poll of the race from September, in which Cruz maintained a four-point lead, with 49 percent to 45 percent.

Cruz has a rating of -1 point, while Allred has a rating of +2 points.

However, the candidates are approximately equal in their net favorability rating, which is determined by subtracting the percentage of individuals who view them unfavorably from the percentage who view them favorably.

Allred’s name recognition has continued to increase, with only 10% of respondents indicating that they are unfamiliar with him, a decrease from 18% at the beginning of last month.

Cruz maintains an advantage in terms of name recognition, as virtually no one claims to be unfamiliar with him.

A modest advantage among independents, 47 percent to 42 percent, contributes to Allred’s competitiveness in the poll.

In the interim, former President Trump maintains a two-point advantage over Vice President Harris among these voters.

Trump has increased his overall advantage over Harris in the state from five points in the most recent poll to seven points.

In a Senate configuration that otherwise presents Republicans with numerous potential pickup opportunities, Democrats have expressed optimism for Texas, one of two states they hope to poach from Republicans in order to gain control of the Senate.
