In a week's time, here's what the polls show for the U.S. Senate race in Texas

In the most recent Emerson College poll, Cruz received the support of 48% of likely voters, while Allred was close behind at 47%. Another New York Times/Siena poll surveyed 1,180 potential voters and found support for Cruz at 50% and Allred at 46%.

An Activote poll of 400 likely voters had Cruz at 53% compared to 47% for Allred, while a Morning Consult poll of 2,048 likely voters had the candidates close at 46% for Cruz and 45% for Allred were equal.

A poll from Claremont McKenna College's Rose Institute of State and Local Government found much the same thing, with Cruz at 49% compared to Allred's 45%. Still, the Rose Institute poll shows, with a margin of error of 3.49 percentage points, that Allred is well within striking distance of his entrenched opponent.
