Shock: Ted Cruz Takes Lead in Reuters Poll Over Donald Trump for First Time
by MIKE FLYNN5 Apr 2016
For the first time in the Republican primary, Reuters’ tracking poll shows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% 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)78% and Ben Carson were still in the race. Since the race narrowed to three remaining candidates, Trump has enjoyed the support of almost half of Republican voters, or 45 percent.
Trump’s collapse in the Reuters tracking poll began on March 26, when the GOP frontrunner topped out at 48 percent support. Since then, Trump has lost 13 points of support. He gained two points back in today’s tracking poll.
The Reuters tracking poll is based on a five-day rolling average of results. Each day, a new round of daily interviews are added to the tracking poll, while older interviews are dropped from the tracking poll. As a result, there can be daily blips in the poll. The overall trend, however, is unmistakable. Trump has lost a considerable amount of support in the past two weeks and Cruz’s support has surged.

Sad, if true.
.
America’s long nightmare is about to end.
The momentum is all Cruz from here on out.
.
Cruz accepted $250,000 of Soros money?
Doesnt this create some cognitive disonance for Cruzers?

You are correct.
the GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.
See:
Tech billionaires (major Dem donors, Hillary supporters) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
Hey now, that ARG poll was only off by approximately 30 points. The Trumpkins posted it over and over, apparently none of them bothered to look at the ridiculously silly internals.
I’d like to spend all of soros money on conservative causes
.
Cruz beat the NWO guy, now America is headed to freedom.
Go Freedom
Go Cruz!
If sCruz gets the nomination God has turned his back on America.
[Trump had his chance to moderate himself after South Carolina. He chose to double down on the crazy.
Trump is not this crazy in real life. he needs to act like he’s a grown up and he can easily win]
Why would Trump do that? His goal seems to be to inflicting as much damage as possible on the conservative movement and making sure no viable conservative candidate comes out do the GOP primary.
.
Cruz is the only candidate that beats Hitlery.
He beat the GOPe at their own game.
Cruz to Victory!
The gilded Reuters poll that adorns FR every day...now w/i the MOE...? OMG!
I still don’t believe it!

The Cruz ship will run into an iceberg come November. Liberal media and money won’t be behind bringing down his opponent then.
After tonight, it looks to me like Trump will not have the requisite delegates to win. And considering the sleazy campaign Trump has run, and the National Enquirer trash posted by so many Trumpkins over the last few days which has alienated so many people - I begin to think Trump will lose to Cruz on the 2nd or 3rd ballot. I just think Trump can't win unless he walks into Cleveland with the delegates to be nominated, and now I doubt he can.
Smashing victory, lol don’t get carried away whats that make 12 wins to Trumps 25.
Plus if you read Trump has already started trending back up.
Trump can still get to 1237, the math is there if you wanna take a look. He has to win CA and PA as well as many others but it can be done. He can even plausibly get 20 or so more than that but it won’t be easy. Whereas Cruz simply can’t get there, he needs the brokers at the convention. I’d hate to be relying on that right now.
.
If Cruz fails to get the nomination, there is no America.
Cruz was the legitimate candidate from the beginning, that was why the MSM created Trump, and carried him through for free.
MSM loses! They were pushing Trump right up to the absurd limit tonight, not calling the obvious massive Cruz victory, even after they called Bernie with less than 1% of the tally counted.
