I heard on the radio. I think it was a radio show called the Texas Standard on our local NPR station that a recent poll put Beto O'Rourke 2 points ahead of Ted Cruz. The thing about Ted Cruz is that even his supporters don't like him a lot. Beto's raised way more money than Ted. And all of Beto's campaign ads are very positive and don't even mention Ted Cruz.
