U.S. Rep. Beto ORourke, D-El Paso, leads Republican incumbent Ted Cruz by 2 percentage points among likely voters, according to an Ipsos online poll released Wednesday in conjunction with Reuters and the University of Virginia. ORourke has been closing the gap over the last several months, but this is the first poll that puts him ahead of Cruz.
Forty-seven percent of likely voters told Reuters they would vote for O'Rourke, while 45 percent said they would cast their ballot for Cruz. Three percent said they would vote for "Other," and 5 percent said "None." The margin of error on that portion of the poll was 3.5 percentage points.
A Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday put Cruz 9 percentage points ahead of ORourke among likely voters. That poll was based on phone interviews, while the Ipsos poll used an online survey. But its trying to predict who will show up on Election Day that shifts the numbers, said Ipsos Vice President Chris Jackson.

And like RFK he could very well defeat a 1 term incumbant republican.
