Ted Cruz maintains a slight edge in his Texas Senate race in the home stretch before Election Day, with the last poll before the contest still showing him ahead of his contender, Democratic Rep. Colin Allred.
Conducted by Morning Consult between October 22 and 31 among 2,120 likely voters, the survey shows Cruz getting 47% of the support, compared to Allred's 44%. Four other polls released during the week show similar scenarios, with the incumbent ahead by three or four percentage points.
