Rick Perry Beats Ted Cruz in New 2018 Senate Primary Poll

Breitbart:

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry beats U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in a hypothetical 2018 GOP senate primary poll published Thursday. The poll shows Gov. Perry with a 9 point lead over the incumbent freshman senator.

 

The poll released Thursday afternoon from the Democrat-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) firm states that Perry would defeat Cruz in a head-to-head match-up in 2018, the Texas Tribune reported. The poll put forward several head-to-head match-ups to prospective voters and Perry was the only hypothetical candidate to defeat Cruz in the poll.

 

Of likely voters polled, 46 percent said they would vote for Texas’ longest-serving governor versus 37 percent that said they would vote to re-elect Senator Cruz.

 

PPP contacted 944 “likely voters” and is said to have a plus or minus 3.2 percent margin of error.

 

Other hypothetical candidates placed up against Sen. Cruz include Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and U.S. House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX). Polling results indicate Cruz would handily defeat both of these potential candidates. Patrick would lose by 22 points while McCaul would lose by 32 points, the poll stated. The poll states that Cruz would also handily defeat possible Democrat challengers – U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary and former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, and failed gubernatorial candidate, former State Senator Wendy Davis – by a margin of 12 points.
