Shock: Ted Cruz Takes Lead in Reuters Poll Over Donald Trump for First Time
Breitbart ^ | April 5, 2016 | Mike Flynn

For the first time in the Republican primary, Reuters’ tracking poll shows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) leading Donald Trump among likely voters in the Republican primaries.

This is also the first time Donald Trump hasn’t led the tracking poll in 2016.

Cruz has the support of 39 percent of likely Republican voters nationwide, just ahead of Donald Trump, who has 37 percent support. Ohio Governor John Kasich is a distant third, with 23 percent support.

In the broader survey of all Republicans, rather than likely voters, Trump still has a four-point lead. This, however, is sharply down from the 28-point lead he enjoyed in the middle of March.

Trump’s current support among Republican likely voters is the lowest since the end of February, when Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ben Carson were still in the race.

Especially today ... a push poll meant to suppress turnout in WI this evening.

Go to Reuters and see that the real poll still has Trump leading over Cruz 40 to 35.

Only Breitbart finds a way to skew the numbers to favor Cruz. Of course Mercer, Cruz’s biggest SuperPAC supporter, just bought Breitbart.

Reuters “reporting” is heavily biased towards supporting the liberal agenda. Its the epitome of doubtful reporting.

I personally wouldn’t tout their polls. But Trump’s results speak for themselves. He’s still in the lead whether you like it or not.

There is no spinning a 28 point drop.
