Meanwhile, Trump came out far ahead of Biden when other candidates were thrown into the mix. Trump got 45% of the vote; Biden, 36%; Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 8%; Cornel West and Jill Stein, 2% each. ...

Meanwhile, in the hotly-contested race for the U.S. Senate, Cruz came away as the top choice, netting 46% of the voters compared to 33% for his Democrat challenger, U.S. Rep. Colin Allred.

Maybe not-so-hotly after all. As an incumbent in a solidly red state, Cruz may be a bit worried about only getting to 46%, although his 47/40 favorability rating is pretty decent for an incumbent that had a narrow scrape six years ago against Beto O'Rourke. Colin Allred is clearly not competitive even with the money he's raising, and that may dry up soon if he can't get out of the low 30s.

It's interesting that Trump is running slightly better than Cruz, and even more telling that Allred is running so far behind Biden.
