Cruz and Christie Gain in Popularity as Trump, Carson and Bush Stumble

ABC News ^ | 1/13/16 | GARY LANGER, GREGORY HOLYK

[kik5150]

Ted Cruz has reached top-rank popularity among Republicans and Chris Christie’s favorability rating is most improved in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, while Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush all have stumbled in the battle for GOP hearts and minds.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton continues to far surpass Bernie Sanders in favorability among party regulars, and she’s vastly more popular within the Democratic Party than are any of the Republican candidates within the GOP base. Still, gender and racial gaps mark Clinton’s standings, and Sanders pushes back among young adults, independents and the better-off.

Movement is greatest among Republicans. Trump’s favorability rating within the GOP has dropped by 12 percentage points, from a high of 69 percent in November to 57 percent now; the decline has occurred almost exclusively among Republican women. Cruz, +7 points to 60 percent favorable, is +13 points among strong conservatives overall, a core GOP group; 76 percent now rate him favorably.

Are you guys literally working for the Cruz campaign and that is why it’s this 3 or 4 people who keep posting and reposting the same stuff?

Lighten up Francis. I just did a search using “Cruz and Christy Gain” and got no hits. Since I knew there was a posting, I double checked and I had mispelled “Christie” in my search. It’s called human error and that is likely what the thread poster had...as we ALL occasionally err. I know that you’re likely to want to not see bad news for Trump, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a grand conspiracy against your man Trump.

[heshtesh]

I can get two people posting breaking news within 2 minutes of each other, but these guys are doing this on purpose.

Feel free to post any Trump story that makes you feel good.

This was pre-debate.

My guess is Cruz’s favorability will drop.
*************************************************
Well, I’d have to agree with you on that NOOB...as may Trump’s favorability drop even further.

There are threads on this freaking forum that have been posted 6 or 7 times each! It's been happening every day for at least a week.

;-) Is that a rhetorical question?

Well, that happens to both “pro-Cruz” and “pro-Trump” posters, we just need to educate the posters to be more careful. If it’s intentional, that’s a different story...I agree with that.

[I would love to see Chris Christie as Trump’s Attorney General. He’s perfect for that job.]

NOOOO!! Christie is the least 2A friendly Gov in the nation, maybe even in R party.

Save for vetoing a few pieces of gun control legislation, he hasn’t done anything to advance gun rights in NJ. His claim of loosening CCW laws was a downright LIE!!!

[TomGuy]

That is a rather useless bunch of jumble.

It is a favorability. It inclues BJ Clinton (83% favorability). He isn’t running, even though he may be campaigning. And Hillary at 84% favorability within the party?

This is a piece of manufactured propagand designed to help Hillary Clinton.

Ironically, among all Americans, Hillary drops to 48%, but all the others, except BJ (53%), are lower than Hillary.

I repeat: This is a piece of manufactured propagand designed to help Hillary Clinton.

Yes, we do think the Trump cult is stupid. We will soon find out just how many Trump supporters change parties and participate in the Republican caucuses.

What’s wrong with YOU? It may have been posted on the 13th, but I’ve not seen it until now! Some of us work, have a life, have responsibilities and don’t have the luxury of sitting on FR all day and night long to catch every single posting! I wish all of you who point the finger at others over multiple postings would just get over yourselves. If you’ve seen one already, then just MOVE ON!

Spoken like a real pseudo-Conservative.

Posts get deleted for duplication for a reason, though after 3 posts of this one already, I think the mods must be slacking or overwhelmed.

Quit posting old articles that have been posted several times before.

It is not new news.

[SmokingJoe]

But, but El Trumpo the clown says Ted Cruz is a “nasty” guy. Why Ted you naughty boy. If the great El Trumpo says so, it must be so.

[RC one]

I’m pretty conservative in most aspects actually. Perhaps I’m not quite as religiously motivated as some conservatives. I’m confident that Trump will represent my values more than adequately.

[SmokingJoe]

Try again, Trumpbot. Your desperation is showing.

[TornadoAlley3]

The only popularity contest that matters is the vote count. Go Trump! Go Cruz!

[SteveSCH]

I’m not a Trumpbot and I’m not the one posting old outdated data trying to build a case for a candidate.

Kinda funny coming from Trumpets who post nonstop smear posts against Cruz every hour of every day.

Might want to take that plank out of your eye there, huckleberry.
