Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton hold commanding leads in Pennsylvania, according to a new Fox News Poll.
Trump receives 48 percent among likely GOP primary voters in the Keystone State. That’s more than the combined support for John Kasich and Ted Cruz. Kasich is at 22 percent and Cruz gets 20 percent. Another 11 percent are undecided.
Just over half of men back Trump (53 percent), while the rest split between Kasich (20 percent) and Cruz (19 percent).
Women are a bit less enthusiastic about the front-runner: 42 percent support Trump, 25 percent Kasich and 20 percent Cruz.

This is good.
I don’t believe Cruz could win PA, FL, or OH in a general election.
The GOPe is more concerned with beating Trump than they are Hillary.
Trump will sweep the Northeast next week.
After a bad loss in WI, its gonna be a sweet night for The Donald.
Ah so this is why we had the barrage of Lyin’Ted threads yesterday. New polls out today.
Lyin’Ted haz a sad.
FOX isn’t pro Trump but even Common Core math will tell you Cruz and Kasich aren’t going to spend a lot of time in places they have no hope of winning.
I think so, too. Maryland may be a wild card, lots of D.C. employees.
April 19 and April 26 will not be good days for the #neverTrump campaign.
Trump is leading in all of the states that go to the polls those days, including even MD, which is probably the most vulnerable of the six states that primary those days.
April 19 - NY
April 26 - CT, DE, MD, PA, RI
I am stunned, stunned I tell ya.
I don’t believe that Cruz could win Virginia or NC either. Might have a hard time in GA as well which is slowly turning purple due to immigration as well as the massive AA population that has always been resident.
It will be over by the end of the month.
As Jim Rob says, Cruz then has a decision to make: to get behind the front-runner or risk dividing the party in a divisive fight that will make it hard to defeat Hillary in November.
We need to concentrate on defeating Hillary. Everything else is secondary.
I’ve read elsewhere that in PA the candidates’ names are NOT on the ballot; only the delegates’ names are.
So the voter has to know in advance that, say, Joe Smith is a Trump delegate but Mary Jones is a Cruz delegate.
Is that true?
It won’t matter. Trump will walk away with PA but delegates will side with whoever Gleason forces them to, the GOPe pick.
I will take the out and out lie for 500 Alex.
The GOPe is more concerned with beating Trump than they are Hillary.
“Cruz and Kasich aren’t going to spend a lot of time in places they have no hope of winning.”
Neither has Trump. Cruz still has one or two inconsequential gimmies coming. Once Cruz comes in third in NY the headlines will pretty much set his trend line into a nosedive. He can #victoryspeech himself to death and only his zealots will hear it.
Is that true?...absolutely. I’m supposed to pick delegates I never heard of who may or not support someone I’d never vote for. The delegates vote only for who they are told to vote. “Go Jeb GO?”
FOX isn’t pro Trump but even Common Core math will tell you Cruz and Kasich aren’t going to spend a lot of time in places they have no hope of winning.
Kasich was born in PA. He’ll give the Cuban-Canadian a strong run for second place there.
Those polls look great.
I know Trump was not expected to win WI, but the loss there was still a disappointment. It was apparent in Trump’s Twitter feed, which went from being buoyantly optimistic to being somewhat plaintive. I understand, it is hard to maintain the optimism after a loss—but it is also important to keep up the good front.
These polls indicate that Cruz is losing support. As he should, since he has resorted to cheap tricks to try to get ahead—and that does not sit well with many people.
Anyway, if the elections turn out the way these polls indicate, we should see happy Trump on the Twitters again!
Just once, I would love to see a lying pollster be caned in the street, for making shit up.
