Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke's effort to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas has been under close scrutiny, and a new poll suggests he's gaining ground six days out from the midterms.
A poll from the University of Texas at Tyler released Wednesday shows Cruz ahead of O'Rourke by 3.6 percentage points among likely voters, quite close to the 3.26-point margin of error, The Texas Tribune reports. Cruz has support from 47 percent of likely voters, while O'Rouke has 43.4 percent support. Another 5.7 percent of voters were undecided. Among registered voters, Cruz holds a larger lead of 4.3 percentage points.
