TX Quinnipiac: Cruz leads Beto by 9, 54-45

[NOVA Green]

Well.... whew.

We now have a post Labor Day poll of LV's from Texas.... Awesome!!!

Still, we have items such as Texas being an extremely difficult state to poll in GE Years, let alone Non-Presidential Election Years....

Additionally we have "the Q" which honestly has a much more recent and less accurate polling history in Texas for a wide variety of reasons, despite relatively high quality polling in some other States of the Union.

Time to take a "chill pill", "hit the vape", and not get excessively celebratory nor depressed, depending upon one's partisan orientation and backgrounds....

This is a *reality check*, especially considering the history of flawed Texas polling when it comes to "adults of Texas",  "RVs of Texas", and "LVs of Texas"....

Still plenty of time on the clock here, and honestly although I tend to give Cruz a narrow nod in '18, still not convinced that this particular poll is actually representative of what will happen in November '18....

Let's wait for more post Labor Day polls from organizations with a better history of polling in Texas, which is an extremely complex mass of Metro Areas, Demographics, etc, before we all get on our "jump to conclusion mats"...

We are only at the start of the Fourth Quarter folks, in an extremely volatile Ball Game...
