Ted Cruz and Colin Allred Locked in Tight Texas Senate Race

Recent polls show the Texas Senate contest is too close to call, with both candidates trading leads and energizing their respective bases.

Polling data indicates a virtual tie between incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Colin Allred.
A Morning Consult poll shows Allred leading by 1 percentage point, while a Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation survey places Cruz ahead by 3 points.
Allred has strong support among Hispanic, African-American, and female voters, while Cruz leads among white and male voters.
The tight race has prompted concerns among Republicans, with some calling for increased campaign efforts and resources.
