Two polls. Four points.
Yesterday, Markos released another poll showing our campaign just 4 points behind John Cornyn in the race for U.S. Senate here in Texas (Noriega 44% -- Cornyn 48%). Again, John Cornyn is polling below 50% -- a danger sign for any incumbent.
Along with the Rasmussen poll released earlier this week, this is great news for the Noriega campaign. The polls confirm the trend we've seen in polls and focus groups over the last six months. The consistent theme: voters are frustrated and want a change.
And I am the candidate to deliver this change and beat Cornyn this November.
In poll after poll, focus group after focus group, Texas voters are sounding a consistent message: John Cornyn is a weak incumbent and vulnerable to defeat this November. Our own polling shows that less than 40% could rate or even heard of John Cornyn.
We have the momentum in this race. And I know we would not be here without the tremendous support from the netroots. With your help, we are now within striking distance of John Cornyn.
This is just the beginning, however. Now we need the resources. We need your help to spread our message, define John Cornyn and get voters to the polls this November. If we can do this, we can win.
Please make a contribution to our campaign!
Your commitment and continued support are more critical now than at any other point in this campaign. With the resources to run an aggressive statewide campaign, we can turn these numbers into a victory in Texas!
I look forward to joining in the discussion below in the comments.
