[junior chįmp]

These the same polls that had Hillary +16% over Trump with a 98% chance of winning?

Shills....when will they learn

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

oh sh!t

[Stranger in a strange land]

I expect Lyin' Ted to win, but he's not gonna win by 18 points.

[Keep cool-idge]

I told you safe republican.

[Cactus Jack]

Still too early, plus WPA Intelligence is garbage.

[OneJ]

Lol, Cruz ain't winnin' by eighteen points.

[Keep cool-idge]

Lol, Cruz ain't winnin' by eighteen points.

Um Greg Abbot will be on the ballot so it’s unlikely but there is a 30% chance he wins by 18 or more.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Something like 55-42 Cruz wins sounds about right.

Yep anything from 53-45 Cruz to 60-40 Cruz.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Cruz is probably going to win, but not by 18%. I would be very surprised if Cruz did better than Trump did in 2016, and I think he should do slightly worse at the very least.

Wonderful poll! Early polls from PPP and others showed Abbott winning by 6-8 points in the 2014 election. Not this time.

[OneJ]

It's still highly unlikely Cruz will win by that much and a 30% chance is too high considering that Cruz himself is underwater if I'm not mistaken.

Ted Cruz has a good approval rating.

Barring scandals, his floor is about a 52-46 win and his ceiling is about a 58-39.

[Doimper]

Beto will win, folks. It's over for the bathrobe bater.

Ted Cruz has a good approval rating.

Admittedly this is not the most current poll but from October he has a 38-43 approval rating which is not great.

>taking internals seriously

[King Lear]

I told everyone Texas is Safe Republican, Cruz is a sure bet for reelection.

[President Johnson]

Junk poll, though Cruz is likely to be favored to win reelection. 53-44% would be my prediction right now.

So you think the perfect candidate in a wave election is going to do 4% better than a nobody in 2012? Ok, lol.

O'Rourke is hardly the "perfect candidate", lol. He's vastly overrated here, not that TX Dems have too many better choices. But I agree with your point in general.

The only candidates I think you could make a case for being better than O'Rourke are the Castros, speaking of vastly overrated.

[Shadows]

Does anyone take an Internal poll of Lyin' Ted seriously? The man possibly fudged the results before releasing/leaking !

Are we talking realistic candidates, or ideal candidates? If you mean the former I agree (I'd rather have O'Rourke than the Castros, who I agree are also overrated) but he is far from "perfect" if we're talking ideal.
