... the dubious endorsement of slimeball ambulance chaser, Michael Avenatti. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Remember when Democrats posed Beto O'Rourke as a likable alternative to Ted Cruz? Good times, good times. The latest iteration of Quinnipiac polling in Texas shows Cruz with a +8 favorability rating, while the Democratic challenger has fallen to a -2. Even though O'Rourke extended the gender gap a little over the past month, Cruz still has 54% of likely voters, and O'Rourke ... doesn't:
The gender gap widens a little, but U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic challenger in the Texas Senate race, gains no ground as Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz holds a 54 - 45 percent likely voter lead, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today.
Men back Sen. Cruz 62 - 37 percent as women tip to O'Rourke 52 - 46 percent. ...
Something tells me this won't help Beto out in Texas:
"Beto O'Rourke deserves all of our support. He is fighting the good fight every day. He would make an exceptional senator for Texas." ~ Michael Avenatti
Maybe Avenatti should have endorsed Cruz ...
Also, Greg Abbott is crushing Lupe Valdez in the gubernatorial race by 20 points, 58/38. Abbott is getting 46% of the Hispanic vote in the race. The only knock on Cruz at this point might be the difference between Abbott's support and his own, and even that isn't much of a difference - just four percentage points now. Cruz goes into the final stretch looking strong and getting stronger.
