Poll: Clinton, Trump lead in Maryland (Trump 41; Kasich 31; Cruz 22)
The Washington Post ^ | April 7, 2016 | Fenit Nirappil

Posted on 04/07/2016 5:44:37 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Hillary Clinton has a clear but narrowing lead over Bernie Sanders three weeks before Maryland’s Democratic primary contest, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.

The poll also finds good news for Donald Trump, who has a slight edge among likely Republican voters with Ohio Gov. John Kasich in second place.

On the Republican side, Trump has a slight edge among likely voters, garnering 41 percent of their support compared with Kasich’s 31 percent and 22 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). While the 10-point margin bodes well for Trump, it is not statistically significant given the survey’s sample size of 283 likely Republican voters.

Third place in New York yesterday, and now third-place in Maryland today.

What in God’s name is a Fenit Nirappil?

Kasich is spending basically no money. This is bad bad news for the Cuban-Canadian.

Goes to show you that the barrage of BS yesterday was dumped to create a narrative, not to confirm any reality.

Trump just can't seem to break 50% anywhere. Since he will be below 50% looks like a lot of delegates will go to Cruz/Kasich

As the poll goes you probably need a little more of a sample than 283, even the writer of the article said that. Of course Trump had a 15 point lead in Wisconsin and over a month or so lost it.

I swear it would be easier to find bigfoot and nessie together than to find one person who would vote for Kasich.

That's proof that people lie to pollsters just to mess with them

The north was never going to be Ted’s.

He had to really clean up in the south.

It didn’t happen.

If “Ted sCurz Other Women” gets the nomination it means God has turned his back on America. sCruz and his cult are not annointed to rule America.

Ahem.

(I didn't see Teddy pulling 50% in his "big" Wisconsin win.)

Wow! A whole 283 respondents! Even a difference of ten points isn’t statistically significant.

Don’t you think the word “margin” belongs in scare quotes in an article about that sort of “poll?”

You might almost as well ask me what the results will be. I lived near Baltimore for five years, back in the ‘sixties . . .

The Reuters national poll uses a couple hundred.

Nearly 300 in a poll of a state the size of Maryland is actually a fair sample, no matter how much you want to believe Cruz has any credibility there.

I stand corrected. Donald Trump is ahead in the polls in NY. 12 days is an eternity, I am sure he will work hard to get below 50%.

Kasich handily out polling Cruz without spending any money. If this doesn’t show how weak a candidate Cruz is a nothing does.

Like Cruz did in his home state of Texas? That’s some indictment of Trump. LOL.
