Noriega Within 7% of Cornyn

By Lee Nichols, October 1, 2008, 6:50pm, Newsdesk

Democratic challenger Rick Noriega has pulled to within seven percentage points of Republican incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn – erm, maybe.

Rasmussen Reports says that as of Sept. 29 Cornyn sits at 50% support in a poll of likely voters, with Noriega – a state representative from Houston – at 43%.

Of course, as Newsdesk has noted previously, polling has been all over the place in this race, and we're not sure what to believe. Perhaps Rasmussen should use samples larger than 500 people. Just a thought, but hey, we're not professional pollsters, what do we know?
