DALLAS — Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democrat challenger Colin Allred are virtually tied in the race for U.S. Senate, according to new poll of likely voters that the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation (TxHPF) released on Monday morning.

Cruz has 48% support, while Allred is at 45%, TxHPF reported. The margin of error in this survey is +/- 2.83%.

We have continued to see Allred consistently outperform the top of the ticket in this race. The data suggests that this speaks more to Allred’s favorables than what we are seeing in the national conversation,” said Jason Villalba, CEO of the TxHPF.

This survey shows likely Texas voters continue to have strong opinions of Cruz with 50% of respondents who said they view him unfavorably and 47% view him favorably.

2. Come on, Texas....Do the right thing and send Ted Cruz back to Cancun, permanently...

I know you can do it. But will you?

I think the women of Texas have known who is in their corner.

3. It will come down to voter turnout and how successful

State government is with their voter suppression efforts. Young people can send a clear statement if they will just do so.

4. Every Democratic Senator in a "swing" state is overperforming Harris

It is a really odd polling anomaly.

5. Sounds about white.

6. This is TX so it's a nobrainer. Even conservative Texans can't stand do-nothing, corrupt cruz.

Allred has a wholesome image - good values, good looks, great family man, former footballer, communicates well. He's relatable. Cruz is batshit cray cray.
