I really hate it when the headlines only name the Republican candidate and not their challenger. I know they’re sociopathic headline grabbers and so more people know their names already, but you’d think when polling shows the race is a dead heat, they could squeeze in the name of the other candidate.

After the National Public Affairs surveyed 807 likely voters, Cruz is neck and neck with his likely Democratic opponent, Congressman Colin Allred. Each candidate is on 44 percent of the vote share; 12 per cent said they were undecided. The polling was conducted between February 6 and February 8, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
