A new weekly tracking poll from NBC News finds Donald Trump opening a big lead over Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% among evangelical voters nationwide. The poll, conducted by NBC News and Survey Monkey, shows a 14 point shift in favor of Trump over the past week.
According to the survey, Trump has 37 percent support among evangelicals, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has the support of 20 percent of evangelicals. Last week, Trump led Cruz by just 3 points in the tracking poll.

Cruz pushed a little too hard. Should have focused on the issues.
Ha! This is BS. A poll released earlier today showed just the opposite, that Evangelicals *strongly* support Ted Cruz, and haven’t been fooled by the phony Trump.
It might have something to do with Palin since it only showed up now.
The lead will grow even more because he just got endorsements from two Evangelical leaders yesterday and today, which is plenty of time for the word to circulate before the caucus.
I’m guessing Cruz didn’t plummet with Black evangelicals, because he didn’t have any to start with.
It’s a poll that polled well over 2,000 voters.
I’m a solid Trump supporter but I’m not putting anu stock in any of the polls for Iowa. It’s a weird puppy and anything can happen on caucus night. I think Trump is going to do well but I’m prepared to be a little disappointed. There have been too many years where someone came out of the blue to win in IA. Trump just needs to do well there and kill it in NH.
That and stayed away from his likely advisor Beck.
Good advice...and points :)
[[Trump just needs to do well there and kill it in NH.]]
Doubt he will in NH- too many liberal conservatives there-
The media is coalescing around TRUMP, because busting 40 points, and leading the lower tier by 8 to 20 points means it is over for any other.
The media wants to move on to cover Bernie now, against Hillary and get the General Election themes started for summer.
Palin effect, Brandsted effect, Jerry Falwell jr effect and now maybe Sessions effect. :-)
That’s impossible. /s
Wittness all ye’ what happens when America rises up against her oppressors.
The jig is up.
I love Cruz btw.
Not!
Cruz - Trump
50 -34 Tea Party
39 -27 Evangelical
49 -29 Very Conservative
21 -29 somewhat conservative
6 -31 liberal
There’s another poll with “likely to caucus” focus and it’s really close, 29 and 31 for Cruz and Trump. Also, there’s a lot of talk that the Governor’s comments had more impact than Palin, which is possible, but I can’t help but feel that it’s also a case of the media not being able to bring themselves to give Palin an ounce of relevance... they can’t do it, it would kill them to admit that it’s even remotely possible!
Probability of Ted Cruz getting a mudhole stomped in him by Super Tuesday
Cruz- Trump
99 - 1 All Republican voters
Most Christians really WANT to be Onward Christian Soldiers but the message of love and peace does not align in the human mind with warfare, which is equally taught in the Bible
We've prayed about it, lamented and waited and .. God forgive us if we're wrong .. no longer willing to wait and pray
Nehemia gathered up a troop of warriors and put them to work on the wall (politics) with a trowel in one hand and a and a spear in the other (warfare)
Cruz killed his campaign with Beck.
I think he must have used Beck as a sure way to bow out of the race entirely. Otherwise, Cruz had to be mental to think that ANYONE admires today’s version of Beck.
How could any intelligent candidate not know that duo appearance would do anything but wipe out votes? Cruz had to know that.
