Sen. Ted Cruz (cReep-TX) may be vulnerable to a primary challenger in 2018 and the only person who can beat him, according to a new PPP poll is former Republican Gov. Rick “OOPS!” Perry. The survey of Republican primary voters by Public Policy Polling shows that in a head-to-head matchup, Cruz would lose to Perry 46 percent to 37 percent.
A new poll suggests there is at least one fellow Republican who could unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018: Rick Perry.
The former Texas governor would beat Cruz by 9 percentage points, according to the forthcoming survey from the Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling. Set to be released later today, the poll found Perry would get 46 percent of the vote and Cruz 37 percent, with 18 percent saying they are not sure whom they would support.
Perry is the only challenger that PPP tested who would defeat Cruz.
Here’s a little bit of sanity on gun control that I would never have expected from Texas…..(just a wee, skosh little bit of sanity)...
Another standout finding from the poll is that despite Texas' proud pro-gun tradition, voters strongly support some new regulations on the purchase of firearms. Eighty-nine percent say every person who wants to buy a gun should undergo a criminal background check, while 83 percent back legislation that prohibit people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing a firearm. PPP found a much narrower margin when it asked voters whether they supported a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons — 48 percent said yes and 43 percent no.
Id like to see Wendy Davis become the nest US Senator from Texas. What about you?
