Ted Cruz May Lose His Seat in Texas: Poll

Sunday, February 18, 2024

N Incumbent Senator Ted Cruz is in a dead heat against likely Democratic opponent Congressman Colin Allred, with each candidate at 44%. Allred is boosted by a +34 lead among Indy women and taking small -- but valuable -- GOP votes from Cruz.

Each candidate is on 44 percent of the vote share; 12 per cent said they were undecided. The polling was conducted between February 6 and February 8, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

"Undecided" will break for R. They're just ashamed to admit that they support the party of Orange Mussolini.

And anyone who doesn't already admit that the pro-rape-baby party is inconsistent with American values is too far gone to reach.

There are two kinds of people n the world. People who hate Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz.

I forget who said that.

Ted Cruz may lose his seat in the Senate?

We can only hope. The Senate is so corrupted by Trump all the Republicans need to take a long vacation while Democrats get America back on track to normalcy again.

And the same goes for the House.

I previously mentioned friends in Dallas - an airline captain and his attorney wife - who live in an upscale neighborhood that was formerly a sea of signs for "conservative" candidates.

Last time Cruz ran, people brought their dogs to pee on the only Cruz sign in their area.

Trump and Cruz rid that neighborhood of Republican votes.

So, Dallas County (predominantly blue), the second most populous county in Texas, is the reason Ted Cruz is going to lose his seat?

Cruz must have been taking notes from the Keri Lake campaign. No wonder he's nervous.

I'll have to remember to text then a thank you card. He's been a scourge on Texas long enough. I remember how Trump insulted his wife and then Cruz turned around and bent the knee.

THAT was truly cowardly!

What's the difference of a dead snake on the road and Ted Cruz on the road?

The snake would have skid marks on it.

I have predicted this "wave" for quite sometime, Texas will be PURPLE in 2024 election.

Allred loses by 8%+ pts in November, won't even be close.

One, you and I agree (for the most part on things) with that said ... The time for Texas to have gone "purple" was the 2022 Beto's last stand Governor's election where he was trounced by 10% pts by Abbott. Abortion was at the forefront and the most popular candidate the Democrats have had since Richards was leading the charge. Again didn't happen.

Rein, that's what the polls said. So if we are basing it off polls being incorrect then I'm right. Piss poor deflection argument but A for effort there bud.

Ohhh probably not lose his seat, unfortunately. Texans would vote for a turd if it had an "R" painted on it.

Silly me; that already explains the current Governor, Attorney General, and Lt. Governor all at once.
