A poll conducted by the University of Texas at Tyler (UTT) reveals that Republican Ted Cruz and his expected Democratic challenger, Texas Representative Colin Allred, are tied in the race for the Texas Senate seat. Both candidates have 41 percent support from potential voters, while 12 percent remain undecided. Cruz won re-election in 2018 by a narrow margin and warns that Democrats will target his seat in the upcoming elections.
Republican Ted Cruz is neck and neck with his expected Democratic challenger in the race for the Texas Senate seat, according to a poll. A University of Texas at Tyler (UTT) survey found that incumbent Cruz and Texas Representative Colin Allred , the current frontrunner to be Democratic challenger in November's Senate election, are both tied on 41 percent when potential voters are asked who they may support in the race, with 12 percent saying they are still unsure.
In 2018, Cruz won re-election to the Texas Senate seat following a fiercely competitive race with former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke by just over 2.6 points. Ahead of November's elections, Cruz warned Republican voters in Texas that Democrats will target his Senate seat as the party hopes to keep control of the upper chamber. The UTT survey also found that Cruz is not as well-liked in Texas as his presumptuous Democratic challenger
