The poll has Ted Cruz at 1.7%, trailing Fiorina.

Indeed. This looks like a real outlier but if it isn't then it is very bad news for Cruz.

But I think it is an outlier. Cruz is falling like a rock over the last week in this poll. Really? Why?

Very important: If anyone can find a link to the methodology for this poll they should post it. I looked and couldn't find it. It may be that it's not being made available, probably for a good reason.

It is worth noting that RCP is not including it in their Average of Recent Polls. So, IMHO, it unlikely to be included by Fox.

RCP will incorporate this poll in their average tomorrow (I think). What will be interesting is how they incorporate it (i.e. will it be filtered for Republicans only or unfiltered or what).

BTW, when filtered only for very conservative voters, Cruz is at 7.7%.

Because he's out there talking more. His attack on Mitch was calculated, self serving, and whiny. His wannabe Trump tactics are too little, too late.

Polls have long been a tool not to measure public opinion, but to shape it. Cruz is the real threat to the GOPe. Once the field is cleared for the RINO of choice, Trump will be easy to take down. If Cruz wins the nomination his articulate, principled enthusiasm will result in a bigger loss of power for the GOP inbreeds than even Regan. Cruz is doing the heavy lifting in the senate and is already the biggest threat to McConnell and the establishment. Call me cynical, but I have little doubt that both the questions and the demographic samples in the poll were designed to neutralize Ted Cruz and save the GOPe power base. The FOX is guarding the hen house again.

——Really? Why?-—
an observation:
He is a young idealistic senator

People are fedup with the current President that could be described as young and idealistic

So, let me get this straight...

According to this poll, Huck supposedly gets a rise for his comments on Iran...and yet, Cruz drops for his comments on McConnell and Obama?

Cruz has TONS of money and a good organization, how could he be at 1.7%? I think, if we look closely at the numbers, that this wasn’t a Republican poll.

‘Cruz is falling like a rock over the last week in this poll. Really? Why? “

What did Cruz do that week? Therein might lie the answer.
