Ted Cruz or Collin Allred for Senate? Here’s what these Texas voters said in new poll
The race between Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Collin Allred to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate remains close, according to a new poll.
A University of Houston Hobby School and Texas Southern University Jordan-Leland School poll released Thursday found that 46.6% of likely Texas voters plan to vote for Cruz, while 44.5% said they’d vote for Allred — putting Cruz 2.1 points ahead. Of those polled, 2.5% said they were voting for Libertarian Ted Brown and 6.4% said they’re undecided.
The poll surveyed 1,365 likely Texas voters between between Aug. 5 and Aug 16. The poll has a 2.65 percentage point margin of error.
The results are similar to the schools’ poll from earlier this year that also predicted single digit margins. The survey of likely voters between June 20 and July 1 showed Cruz up by 2.4 percentage points.
There were 878 respondents who participated in both polls.
Cruz was last up for reelection in 2018 when he won against former El Paso U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke by 2.6 points.
