With Jeb Bush out, Donald Trump has widened his lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Voters finds Trump with 36% support, giving him a 15-point lead over Senator Marco Rubio who earns 21% of the vote. Senator Ted Cruz is in third place with 17%.
For Trump, that's a five-point gain in support from the beginning of this month just after the Iowa caucus and right before the New Hampshire primary when it was Trump 31%, Rubio 21% and Cruz 20% among likely GOP voters. Rubio's support has held steady, while support for Cruz has fallen slightly.
In mid-December, Trump led with 29% Republican support, with Cruz in second with 18% and Rubio at 15%.

I think they are robo-landline dominant. That means they’re ok, but I’d add a few points to whatever they say their MOE is.
How many people do you know who don’t even have a landline anymore?
Trump said the other day, these geniuses cant figure out that I will get some of the votes of candidates who drop out.
It’s looking like President Trump folks.
This is great.
Looks like Cruz is going the way of Bush....time will tell.
His usual is to flame about something he will take on to become our super hero.
I'd say he's preparing to hit on the Guantanamo closing.
Maybe he should visit the Senate...you know....where he works and represents the State of Texas.....occasionally.
It was not a ceiling, its a floor.
Why is Marco AmnestyO in this poll at ALL??
I believe Cruz is done.
I think what were going to see is the biggest landslide in modern American history for Trump.
Ted: “Please clap.”
Cruz creeping downward.
Rubio's rise was predictable, since the Establishment candidates have taken 30-40% in the first three primaries.
Cruz needs Carson to drop out, but Cruz will still have the edge in the South, regardless.
Buoyed by an Establishment cash infusion, Rubio may hang on past Super Tuesday, in which case Trump wins.
Rubio dropping out and allying with Cruz as VP would give Cruz the victory, since Cruz beats Trump by 15 points, head-to-head.
Bye, Ted.
Cruz staffer saying he can’t win either.
“The Cruz campaign has to focus on getting basic campaign techniques right,” said a Republican operative who works for the presidential campaign, who asked not to be identified. “I don’t think Cruz can win the nomination at this point. I think his campaign is done.”

OOOF. Thatta gonna hurt.
Sad...but a lot of people don’t know he is an establishment, illegal loving puppet. He will do and say whatever they tell him do and say....just like Obamie.
“I think what were going to see is the biggest landslide in modern American history for Trump.”
Possibly. If it is Trump v. Clinton it is going to be the political equivalent of Stalingrad. Watch the GOPe assist Hillary, if only by damning with faint praise, but I expect active and express undermining by some of the Geriatric Old Plotters.
Cruz lost South Carolina and its evangelicals to Trump. It is Trump that literally has the edge everywhere.
Cruz is finished. He's not going to win the nomination.
