Ted Cruz is back on the lead in the Texas Senate race after a recent survey showed his challenger, Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, ahead for the first time. However, the incumbent's lead is still razor thin and the contest remains fluid a little over a month before Texans head to the polls.
Allred appeared on top (45% to Cruz's 44%) at a Morning Consult survey conducted between September 9 and 18 among 2,716 likely voters. Three polls have been published ever since, all of them showing the Republican ahead by different margins.
