PPP's new national poll finds that Donald Trump remains the clear front runner- and the GOP base would find someone like Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney being nominated at a contested convention to be unacceptable.
Trump's polling at 42% to 32% for Ted Cruz and 22% for John Kasich. Kasich's continued presence in the race really is providing a boost to Trump- in a head to head match up he would lead Cruz only 46-44, as Kasich voters would move to Cruz over Trump by a 51-23 spread. In a head to head with Kasich there would be little effect on Trump's overall advantage, with Trump leading 52/40 in such a scenario.

From source:
58% of GOP primary voters say they’d be comfortable with Trump as their party’s nominee to 34% who say they would not be. Trump actually has stronger numbers on that metric than the other candidates- 53% say they would be comfortable with Cruz to 35% who wouldn’t, and 49% say they’d be comfortable
with Kasich to 36% who wouldn’t
From source:
Trump also has the best favorability rating among GOP voters at 51/40, followed by Cruz at 49/39, and Kasich at 44/41. There’s been a lot of debate about where
Trump fits on the ideological spectrum. 44% of GOP primary voters consider Trump to be a moderate to 31% who think he’s a conservative and 17% who think he’s a liberal. Being perceived as a moderate isn’t necessarily all bad for Trump
though- those voting for him are pretty evenly split with 48% considering him a conservative and 42% a moderate- so there are plenty of people supporting him even though they perceive him to be in the middle. There’s less division when it comes to perceptions about the ideology of the other candidates. 70% think Cruz is a conservative to only 16% who think he’s a moderate and 7% who think he’s a
liberal. And a majority of voters- 51%- agree that Kasich is a moderate with 28% believing he’s a conservative and 11% that he’s a liberal.
Authenticity sells. Polls prove it.
TRUMP 2016
These national polls are useless, useless I say, if they don’t show that Lyin’ Ted Cruz is surging into the lead. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this drivel! It can’t be true! Can’t, can’t, can’t be true.
Forgot to say: IN BEFORE THE TEDIBAN!!
“in a head to head match up he would lead Cruz only 46-44”
Yep, further proof that, in a two man match up, Cruz may indeed be able to beat out Trump. Also, further proof that Trump may have a ceiling of 40 to 45%.
LOL damn
Trump has a ceiling; Teddy has a basement.
Except everyone has been saying that and it hasn’t happened yet. Everytime someone drops out they say Trump can’t increase his lead, yet he always does and Ted never catches up. If Kasich were to drop out, and he won’t beciase if he does, Trump gets all 66 of his Ohio delegates, but if he does, it will not be an even race. Trump will continue to lead Cruz by 10 or more points.
It just occurred to me, maybe the best thing that could happen in Cleveland, to protect the nation from hillary, would be a new faced nominee “chosen” by some back room dealing.
I know, I know...but Cruz and Trump are both acting like idiots and racking up general negativity points fast.
All hell will break out when the Cuban Mistress Crisis hits the headlines.
Those national polls will mean much more come Nov. Right now the most important polls are
statewide in the remaining states that have primaries, etc.
Teddy has a basement.
**************
Does his basement have a hole in it? I believe there
was a song about ‘my bucket has a hole in it’
Heh gloryhole maybe.
The effects, if any, of The Cuban mistress crisis has yet to play in the polls.
All hell will break out when the Cuban Mistress Crisis hits the headlines.

Naw...... papa Cruz has that under wraps and the anointed
one won’t be hindered at all.
Trump is on the verge of losing this race. These numbers should worry him.
No. He’s fine, PPP is always low on the Trump end. Last month they only had him at 26 and only 4 over Cruz. GOPe is in all out assault on him for their survival. He’s holding up well.
