A new Quinnipiac poll in Texas finds Sen. Ted Cruz (R) leading Beto O’Rourke (D) by nine points among likely voters, 54% to 45%.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “The Texas U.S. Senate race between Cruz and O’Rourke, and Democratic hopes for an upset win there, have boosted talk of a Senate takeover. These numbers may calm that talk.”

A new Public Opinion Strategies (R) poll finds most voters believe Democrats will win back the House—just not Republican voters.
“Fully half of self-identified Republicans don’t believe Democrats are likely to win back the House. And within that group, 57% of people who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters don’t believe Democrats have a chance (37% believe they do).”
"This suggests that Mr. Trump’s other qualities, and his many controversies, may not allow him to reap significant political benefits from a strong economy." @vavreck https://t.co/jFEVrRaXE8
