HOUSTON, Texas – A new Fox News poll shows Cruz continues to move up in national surveys and has taken sole position of third place behind Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Cruz comes in at 10% in the Fox News poll, affirming results from this week’s CBS poll, which also had Cruz in third.
The rising poll numbers come after a successful fundraising quarter in which the campaign raised more than $12 million, followed by raising over $1 million in the first nine days of the fourth quarter — bringing the total raised for the campaign to $27.5 million. And Cruz has built an impressive nationwide organization totaling more than 500 leadership team members, including chairs in every county of the first four caucus and primary states.
Critics and pundits have begun noticing that Cruz has put together a top-notch organization relying on the fundamentals of successful campaigns.
National Review observed, “Cruz has proved to be an ambitious and serious campaigner, devoted to doing the hard and unglamorous work required of presidential candidates.”
Cruz will spend the next week campaigning in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire continuing to argue that his record of consistent conservatism is what America needs to the keep the country free, prosperous, and secure.

Time to start whittling the numbers on the debate stage too.
5 would be ideal but 7 would be acceptable.
There was a survey thread here on FR a few weeks ago. Cruz got about 2/3 of the support.
Thanks to Ronald Reagan.
Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone. He and his team have been studying Obama's campaign strategy book by David Plouffe (The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory)
Here here! Most welcome news!
Carson is not the guy if we are serious about saving our country from illegal immigration.
Carson quote:
“Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families.”
This is what he did in Texas as well. Big ground game, lots of travel.
He and his team also used the Obama strategy when they won their first Senate race.
Smart guy.
Yep, Cruz in third and the Cubs going to the NLCS, hell of a night! :D
Oh, like Trump then.
Actually, Trump has a longer history of being a Republican.
Facts get in the way of agendas sometimes.
Lake, see Jeb way down the list....I’ll call this the “Lake and Edmund told you so” PING!!
Don’t get too excited - this is just one poll and it’s FOX news at that. They are to be eyed with suspicion. They don’t like any of the 3 top candidates - so, what to think?
As I cautioned, don’t get too excited about these TV polls. I sure don’t.
Of course!
Thanks for the info.
Trump got “Make America Great Again” from Cruz. That was Cruz’s motto for his senate seat. Trump got in touch with Cruz after that time and asked if he could have that motto. Cruz agreed.
