Tough Race for Noriega

I have done some research on the latest polls for the US Senate Race in Texas. Rick Noriega is starting to fall behind John Cornyn by about 13 points in the latest Rasmussen Poll. Now, this was taken on Jume 25th out of a cample of 500 people. It is not clear if this was likely or registered voters. The prospect of unseating a sitting US Senator is a tough prospect in any state but in Texas it is even tougher. There is a glimmer of hope for the Democratic challenger. He has the overwhelming support of Labor and the Texas AFL-CIO. His opponent has voted against many of the items that would help Texas families and working families. Noriega also has the good fortune that George Bush is not at the top of the ticket. We will see if Cornyn can win a race without the help of a Bush being at the top of a ticket. It will be the first time he has run for state wide public office with out Bush on the ballot.
