With a resounding victory in New York under his belt, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is taking an early lead in another northeastern state: Connecticut, where a new poll has him beating his closest rival by 20 points.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday shows Trump leading among likely Republican primary voters with 48 percent, compared to Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 28 percent and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 19 percent. Just five percent of voters say they are still undecided ahead of the April 26 primary.
Trump is the clear favorite across nearly all demographic groups, except among Republican voters 18 to 44 years old, who favor Kasich at 39 percent. Trump has 32 percent of support among that age group, while Cruz comes in with 27 percent. The New York billionaire, however, leads among older voters.

How is Crooze addressing the fact that he’s now coming in THIRD? This guy who wins at the ballot box...this guy who is the only one who can beat Hitlery.
After almost 40 years as an independent (now called unaffiliated) voter, I went to the town hall yesterday and became a Republican so I can, for the first time, vote in Connecticut’s primary.
But, but, but...the polls!
Nobody likes Trump! We have the proof right here!
Let me see. I know it’s here. Oh, yes. Right between the “global warming” and the “second hand smoke” proofs...
Don’t worry Cruz might win Indiana in a few weeks
I like Trump, he got 400,000 more votes than Turd Cruz yesterday.
In Nevada he got more votes than all the candidates combined in 2012 in the state. State vote was 70% higher thanks to Trump. He even won Hispanics by 46% here
It's over what is Ted doing
Trump will win the next handful of states and Cruz will still be crowing about winning Utah
Don’t worry Cruz might win Indiana in a few weeks
You have to look at it state by state, and not just a blanket percentage. There are also 129 uncommitted delegates to consider.
Your Dreaming
I think Trump can get the spread easier now that Cruz can’t get there winning contests. Trump can make the case Cruz should drop out for party unity, and of course when Turd Cruz refuses Trump has his number because Republicans hate hate hate sore losers, especially ones that win voterless victories.
TTTT!
Another by product of the GOP rigged outcome in CO.
Cruz has been dropping like a rock ever since.
Americans do not like Voterless outcomes.
The tribe has spoken. Republican voters are coalescing around Donald Trump. The momentum will just snowball going forward. Cruz is done.
Poor Tead...
His time has passed, and nobody has had the courage to be honest with him.
With a resounding victory in New York under his belt,
That’s when I couldn’t stop laughing. Trump got 526,000 votes from a total of 20 million people in the state and he lost his home town.
That’s some “resounding victory.”
In MA we can vote in the primary even if unenrolled.
.
No you don't. The polls prove it. ;o)
I’m not surprised. The only reason they are called “hoosiers” is that they misspelled Hosers.
He mighta lost his hometown by 77 votes -,but he won Paul,Ryan's in Wisconsin :-)
You can stick a fork into the snake oil salesman from up North.
Just a few days ago Cruz was imploring Kasich to drop out since he was mathematically eliminated. Semms like good advice that now applies to Ted as well.
