Story about this from The Hil:
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/370477-dem-poll-cruz-leads-dem-challenger-by-single-digits
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) leads Rep. Beto O'Rourke (Texas), his likely Democratic opponent in November, by single digits, according to a new poll conducted by a left-leaning firm.
End Citizens United, a campaign finance reform group, released a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling that finds Cruz leading O'Rourke by 8 points, 45 to 37 percent. Eighteen percent were undecided.
Wednesdays poll is in contrast with an internal poll from Cruzs campaign earlier this month that showed the GOP senator surging ahead of O'Rourke by 18 points. The survey also found that O'Rourke struggles with name recognition compared to Cruz.
In the first poll, both Cruz and President Trump have negative favorability ratings in Texas. Thirty-eight percent view Cruz favorably, while 49 percent view him unfavorably. For Trump, who won Texas by 9 points in the 2016 election, 45 percent view him favorably, compared to 48 percent who view him unfavorably.

Is there some rule that the word "surging" must be used in every article that mentions polls?

Texans disapprove of Carnival Cruz, but still would vote for him over a Democrat.
