New poll from Virginia holds some bleak news for Cruz

The numbers show Trump up in almost every category - except - 2 among those making 10K to 25K The big one is Trump's YUGE lead among 60+ voters

And who thought that bringing Hispanics into this country would somehow, magically give votes to conservatives?

Coach is an anti-Cruz troll. He makes up stuff and as such...

Dismissed.

[Darren McCarty]

If this was February 24th or later I’d be worried.

[pgkdan]

The Republican establishment in Virginia doesn’t even try to hide its fear and loathing of Donald Trump. They have even stooped to trying to force voters to sign a “loyalty oath” as an intimidation tactic to try to stop Trump.

This is not an anti-Trump move. We've been doing it for several election cycles now because VA has open primaries and this is an attempt to discourage democrats from spoiling Republican Primaries.

Trump might well destroy the Republican Party, and this is payback for the Republican Party destroying America.

Cruz committed the unforgivable sin in the eyes of the government slugs who populate VA. He “shut down the government,” according to the Washington Post, which is their Bible. And the government is their God, providing all that they need in this life.

HAHAHA
27% of blacks? I don’t see number of blacks on this poll.
On the Iowa poll this morning Trump got 50% of black votes.... Yeah - 2 out of the 4 black polled.
But don’t let facts get in your way. Enjoy.

When is the VA primary?

Has Cruz even campaigned there other than his announcement @ Liberty U in April?

Coach is an anti-Cruz troll. He makes up stuff and as such...

Dismissed.

Don’t forget blog pimp.

[tanknetter]

Is this looking at overall Black and Hispanic vote, or Republican Black and Hispanic vote?

[MHT]

Senior citizens are the fastest growing voting block--even more than Hispanics--and tend to get more conservative as they age, even women!

There is a creepy element to Cruz. Listening to him is a better experience than looking at him. I am not one to just appearances but he just isn't that telegenic.

[TexasCajun]

Kevin "Coach" Collins is gonna need a new set of Trump knee-pads before the Primaries are over.

Trump & Cruz are the two best candidates available.

My opinion of the Coach is as low as Yeb Bush poll numbers!

[Dr. Sivana]

I actually looked at the link which "coach" thoughtfully provided, and as a Cruz supporter I found it encouraging.

The Virginia primary isn't up for a while. By the time it rolls around, some of the tier 2nd-tier/3rd-tier candidates will be out or even less relevant. If Cruz only gets a plurality of Carson supporters, that by itself would be enough to push him past Trump.

Northern Virginia is heavily populated with folks on the government payroll. I expect that region to be more Establishment friendly, possibly breaking for Rubio, unless there is some fatalistic remnent of John Ellis Bush loyalism, which would be a Bizarro-world version of 2012 Ron Paul loyalism. Anyway, while Trump is pulling 35%-40% nationwide, he's only getting 29% in VA, with Cruz at 19% and Carson at 17%. That is not a huge gulf, with so many votes out for grabs.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. aren’t the majority of people who live in VA work in D.C. ..?? Probably in some part of the Government ..?? If so, why are people expecting Trump and Cruz to do well ..??

These two guys are ready to rip the govt to shreds .. and reorganize lots of things that the DemocRATS already hate.

[HoosierDammit]

Thanks for pointing this out. I see “Coach’s” stuff on here a lot, and most of it is warmed over cliches based on stale news; even by his standards, though, this is beyond stupid.

This is a poll of likely Republican primary voters. The last several elections show Republicans getting about 5% of the AA vote, who account for about 15% of the total vote. I would hardly call 25% of 5% of 15% of the voting population representative of anything - in fact, at this number it’s a rounding error. You could probably poll communist evangelicals who support HRC and get a more credible result.

[bigbob]

He cites a survey, you state an opinion. Dismissed.

[Responsibility2nd]

I stated Coach makes up stuff.

This thread proves it.
