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.
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.
