WASHINGTON _ Texas Sen. Ted Cruz leads Democrat Beto O'Rourke 49 to 43 percent in a new poll conducted for one of O'Rourke's Democratic allies.
The new poll was conducted by the Democratic polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, on behalf of a group that advocates for campaign finance reform, End Citizens United.
End Citizens United supports O'Rourke, who has pledged not to take campaign funds from political action committees. The group has paid for several surveys of the race, while O'Rourke's campaign doesn't plan to hire a pollster.
