This week's poll question

Ted Cruz’s campaign as well as pro-Cruz groups have launched multiple attack ads toward challenger Beto O’Rourke. The ads target various topics such as the national anthem controversy and O’Rourke’s usage of curse words. What’s your opinion on the ads?

A. It’s dirty politics. I’m more interested in what each candidate has to say about issues that matter to me over dirty laundry. Attack ads are done in poor taste.

B. Dirty laundry or not, if they need to be aired, then so be it. I want to know everything about the candidates before I vote.

D. Attack ads don’t work on me, nor should it everyone else. Smart voters are going to see right through them and find out the truth.

E. These attack ads show that Cruz and his supporters are desperate.
