The latest CBS News poll shows incumbent Republican US Sen. Ted Cruz pulling ahead of his Democratic challenger, Beto O'Rourke, after trailing for months.
CBS reports that Cruz has a 10-point lead over O'Rourke among likely voters. Cruz benefits from strong support from his own party and has an advantage among independents as well. O'Rourke is supported by Democrats, leads with Hispanics and has an edge with women. Cruz performs well with whites and men.
Cruz also has an overall job approval rating of 54 percent in Texas among registered voters, a bit higher than President Trump's (50%) in the state.
On the matter of separating families, both Cruz and O'Rourke get net positive ratings (largely driven by support from their own parties) although three in 10 voters do not have an opinion about O'Rourke on this, as he may be less known to voters than Cruz.
