If you are saying all the polls show Cruz at 5%, I think that is wrong. At a minimum, Quinniapac showed him at 7% in their latest.
In April (poll taken in March), Public Policy:
“Walker continues to lead the field with 20%, although that’s down from his 25% standing a month ago. Bush continues to poll at 17%, followed by Cruz at 16%, Ben Carson and Rand Paul at 10%, Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee at 6%, Chris Christie at 4%, and Rick Perry at 3%.”

I do admit, some polls don’t have Cruz doing well, it would need some study.
PPP has good numbers...it is closer to what I’d expect.
Keep in mind when Real Clear, etc, give poll numbers, it is an aggregate of all polls. Fox News has purposely kept Cruz out of their polls.
Besides, if you look at crwods showing up at events for Cruz, the fact that the Left is still writing hit pieces on him, the fact that he is asked to keynote so many events...his polling isn’t as low as they say.
Besides, anyone who things Huck and Carson are ahead of him are full of crap.
