OK let me try this again.
I tried to post this once, but the thread was pulled, apparently I improperly credited the story. Here it is again:
You will find this story referenced at the link above.
The link above is just a website. However it (apparently) links within that website, to coverage on Fox 2 of a poll from this weekend of a poll, in Wisconsin, which shows the following percentages:
(this is from the linked videoclip, not the story itself)
Trump 41%
Cruz 32%
Kasich 19%
Please note, there is included at the link (included in the story) an apparent videoclip from Fox, covering this poll.
This poll was from this weekend, so it is very recent.
Just want to provide this datapoint, to contrast with the countless (Cruz is leading, Trump is doomed) sort of posts which have been floating around here for several days.

Kenny,
yes the timing of when the poll was taken does factor in to it.
Here’s another point to consider, the polls showing Cruz up by yy points are only from asking republican voters.
they aren’t asking everyone, the independents, the democrats... when those folks are factored in, there’s gonna be a difference.
Prayers up for Trump on Tues. He’s fighting the entire GOP, media, donor class, and devil in WI. But I believe if anyone can do it, he can. He’s working his a$$ off this weekend so I pray it pays off.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. Of course, I will vote Trump if he is the nominee.
This will be a contested election. If Trump does not win on the first ballot, it will be Cruz.
Sadly, current polls show Trump getting slammed by both Bernie and Hillary. The reality is with a negative rating of near 70% among women who make up-to 53% of the electorate, it all points to Trump going down in flames. Even among the states Trump has won, he has a ceiling of 30%-40% and that with a fractured primary. A poll from Utah shows Trump losing to Hillary, and this in the reddest of red states.
Yes, we agree. Country comes first.
That's exactly what it shows. Not buying it either. I think Trump made up tremendous ground the last couple of days. With his absence and his lack of ad buys, I think it hurt him. This was a six day poll with limited participants at a time when he wasn't defending himself from an absolute onslaught.
I don’t think Utah can be used as any sort of benchmark this time around.
Mormons are very important there. Mitt Romney was the GOP nominee last time, and he was 100% on board for Cruz.
That is just an impossible combination for any opponent. But that is just Utah. Not anywhere else.
Shows cRuz at 40%, Trump at 35% with a 5 pt +/- MOE. (Statistical tie.)
This is only counting likely GOP voters.
Add in the Indy’s....and....
Go Trump!!
I think the race is closing. The polls are showing it getting tighter. I’m holding out for something good to happen on Tuesday!
Same here!
Go Trump!!
This poll should be no more credited than those showing Cruz up by ten. These polls are apparently selecting from totally different populations to swing so wildly.
Since one says up ten another says down ten I will go with the one showing a deadheat, in other words no one knows wtf is happening.
What’s interesting is the Cruz camp is running attack ads on Kasich and a Kasich super Pac is running a devastating ad against Cruz:

This can only help Trump
This is going to be tight. I hope Trump can pull some Indy's and maybe a Dem or two who are dissatisfied with their choices... and who wouldn't be?
You know Cruz is going to have a turnout machine with Scott Walker. Our man's got work to do tomorrow.
“There are about 25 Cruz fanatics here who are as obnoxious fact resistant self righteous snotty posters as I’ve seen here in 16 years. When the nomination became out of reach baring GOPe meddling for Cruz will be fun to watch them melt”
It certainly will. And that thought would never have occurred me except for their incessant and sanctimonious behavior.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. And I will vote for Cruz in he is the nominee as well. I hope for everyone’s sake that you are right about the second ballot if this goes to the convention. I fear that this is very unlikely. I know that Cruz has a good ground game, but I am assuming that you are aware of what took place in Tennessee recently. They wouldn’t even allow Cruz or Trump supporters in the party meeting let alone send them to the convention.
I have been active in local politics where we live over the years and it would be similar here except that they would try to be sneakier about it. It is a cliquey system and outsiders are not welcome when it comes to actual decision making within the party. I know that the people in charge are not enamored with either Trump or Cruz and they are not welcome to the idea of anyone taking away the influence that they currently have. I am only guessing but I assume it is the same in most other parts of the country.
April primaries are:
Wisconsin (4-5)
New York (4-19)
Connecticut (4-26)
Delaware (4-26)
Pennsylvania (4-26)
Maryland (4-26)
Rhode Island (4-26)
So, yeah, Wisconsin is likely Cruz's only hope for a win in the entire month of April.
Good one!
I wonder where that was...
This is a local station screw-up, nothing more. Trumpites are grasping at imaginary straws. Tuesday the blowhard is facing a major FAIL.
LoL. How’s life inside the Trumpite reality distortion field?

Do you do a matinee show as you really are priceless......thanks i’m still laughing.
Lou Dobbs retweeted this poll on his twitter and remarked “Yay for local news!” As a devoted Trumpster, I sincerely hope that this will be released later today as a Monday Shocker!
