Washington (CNN)A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows a tight race in Texas between Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Beto O'Rourke for Cruz's Senate seat.

Forty-seven percent of Texas registered voters back Cruz, the Republican incumbent, and 44% favor O'Rourke, the Democratic underdog from El Paso. Both figures fall within the margin of error in the poll, the first major look at the blockbuster Lone Star State race. The election is a crucial midterm race, with Republicans attempting to hold on to, if not grow, a razor-thin 51-49 seat advantage in the Senate. Texas is a historically red state, where Democrats haven't won a statewide election since 1994 and a US Senate race since 1988.

Sadly, I would take this poll with a grain of salt. Texas is a SOLID, I mean SOLID red state and I don't see that changing any time soon. Especially since Texas Democrats simply don't vote.

Actually Hillary lost Texas by only 807,000 votes.

And I know it was a special case but if a Democrat can win in Alabama...

I don't want to give too much about myself away. But, to the entirety of America, Texas is seen as a solid red state with a few blue patches and it's only seen that way because Texas isn't a red state. IT'S A NON-VOTING STATE. Voter turnout is horrible. That's why Republicans keep winning.

SO DO REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION.

This, if we can learn something from trump winning, is that assuming things doesnt work.

A huge voter turnout is the only thing that will tell us the color of the state.

There could be more democrats in Texas and we still lose because we think its a solid red state.
