In a new CBS News Battleground Tracker poll, Republican front-runner Donald Trump holds the lead heading into the final days before the Michigan primary, looking to extend his overall delegate lead after a string of Super Tuesday wins.

Finally good news. Let’s see what dirty tricks Cruz has up his sleeves.
Polls are way off..
1. Cell phones not easily accessible to pollsters
2. Cell phone service includes easily visible caller ID.
many people will not answer unknown numbers calling.
3. Polls have been off more in caucus states than regular primary states.
4. 90% of time, actual election results tend to be closer than polls, because margins usually narrow at the last minute.
Interesting then.
A vote for Kasich is a vote for Romney.
Yeah surging until today when he got his butt handed to him. Shortage surge in history.
Funny how trump supporters consider winning a dirty trick.
I did not vote for McCain or Romney in the primary. I held my nose and voted for them in November. I would hold my nose and vote for Cruz but I will not vote for Romney, Ryan or a “compromise” candidate from the convention.
Absolutely shallow thinking, to elect a Alinsky liberal democrat over any NY liberal running on GOP ticket. If in your opinion Trump is such a liberal, why are media calling him a Hitler, Mussolini, dictator, and other epithets reserved for hard right leaders?
Trump exceeded his RCP average in Alabama also.
Because they want Hillary to win.
Louisiana was a closed Primary. Not a Caucus.
Well Cruz did it to himself.
As much as I am pulling for Trump, and I am, I'm not buying any poll that shows him in the lead, much less a strong one. The polls have been lousy lately. Too many unpleasant surprises and nail-biters. Just going to have to wait and see. Hope Trump tightens up his ship though.
I think our best option might be to take each candidate at face value unless he has a history of being deceitful and indecisive, bending whatever way the political wind blows (i.e., Romney); let him be who he says he is and believe he supports what he says he supports, and not look so much at the far past (i.e., things Trump said years ago) and thirdly let us not define the candidate by one outlier act (i.e., Cruz and TPP.)
At some point, we just have to have some standard by which we can make a decision. Why not let that be what the candidate says that his are!
WHAT ABOUT KASICH? AREN’T YOU FORGETTING SOMEONE HERE? Did he get more votes than Gilmore? lol
MOE +/- 5.9%
Mark this one up as a set up so they can say Trump unperformed.
In 2012, Romney was shoved down our throats early in the primary season. It was a done deal by the end of April which is when my state of PA voted. The way things are going, my vote may mean something this year.
I’m not quite sure what to make of it, because Trump’s numbers didn’t fall that much, so:
It’s an outlier.
The debate helped Kasich
The debate hurt Cruz
Romney helped Kasich
Romney hurt Cruz
How does anyone know who the uncommitted delegates will go to?
“A vote for Kasich is a vote for Romney.”
Pretty much. It’s too bad because I like Kasich, he seems like a good guy, but I detest Romney.
