n what must seem to be a little glimmer of hope for those people who fear a Donald Trump presidency, CNN reported that the first national poll taken since the famous Trump debate meltdown that Ted Cruz has edged ahead of the mercurial real estate tycoon in a national survey. Cruz enjoys the support of 28 percent of Republicans, with Trump just behind with 26 percent. Marco Rubio comes in third with 17 percent. Trump is still far ahead in the South Carolina poll in advance of the primary and a number of other states.

Very good news. I hope it is accurate and the other polls are wrong. Hopefully some other new polls will come out and confirm this since at the moment this is definitely an outlier.
Yes correct
With the denial present I think it’s something other than Trump that has been laying out in the sun too long.
Well Gee! Cruz changes right after his votes... TPA - TPP. Worse yet, Cruz already had keys to the political kingdom.
I’m guessing they polled the members of People’s Temple, and Heavens Gate.

Let me be clear - I am pro-life. I support that position with exceptions allowed for rape, incest or the life of the mother being at risk. I did not always hold this position, but I had a significant personal experience that brought the precious gift of life into perspective for me. My story is well documented, so I will not retell it here. However, what I will do with the remaining space is express my feelings about life, and the culture of life, as we approach the 43nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade.
I build things. There is a process involved in building things. We tap into a lot of disciplines with engineering being one of the most important. The rules for putting structures together are as strict as are the rules of physics. These rules have stood the test of time and have become the path to putting together structures that endure and are beautiful. America, when it is at its best, follows a set of rules that have worked since our founding. One of those rules is that we, as Americans, revere life and have done so since our Founders made it the first, and most important, of our "unalienable" rights.
Over time, our culture of life in this country has started sliding toward a culture of death. Perhaps the most significant piece of evidence to support this assertion is that since Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Count 43 years ago over 50 million Americans never had the chance to enjoy the opportunities offered by this country. They never had the chance to become doctors, musicians, farmers, teachers, husbands, fathers, sons or daughters. They never had the chance to enrich the culture of this nation or to bring their skills, lives, loves or passions into the fabric of country. They are missing, and they are missed.
The Supreme Court in 1973 based their decision on imagining rights and liberties in the Constitution that are nowhere to be found. Even if we take the court at its word, that abortion is a matter of privacy, we should then extend the argument to the logical conclusion that private funds, then, should subsidize this choice rather than the half billion dollars given to abortion providers every year by Congress. Public funding of abortion providers is an insult to people of conscience at the least and an affront to good governance at best.
If using taxpayer money to facilitate our slide to a culture of death was not enough, the 1973 decision became a landmark decision demonstrating the utter contempt the court had for federalism and the 10th Amendment. Roe v. Wade gave the court an excuse to dismantle the decisions of state legislatures and the votes of the people. This is a pattern that the court has repeated over and over again since that decision. Perhaps Roe v. Wade became yet another incidence of disconnect between the people and their government.
We are in the middle of a presidential political cycle and votes will be cast in just days. The citizens of this nation will have the chance to vote for candidates that are aligned with their individual worldviews. It is my hope that they will choose the builder, the man who has the ability to imagine the greatness of this nation. The next President must follow those principles that work best and that reinforce the reverence Americans hold for life. A culture of life is too important to let slip away for convenience or political correctness. It is by preserving our culture of life that we will Make America Great Again.
Trump stated he was against partial birth abortions in 2000;
"When Tim Russert asked me on Meet the Press if I would ban partial-birth abortion if I were president, my pro-choice instincts led me to say no. After the show, I consulted two doctors I respect and, upon learning more about this procedure, I have concluded that I would indeed support a ban."
"But Trump said in his book, The America We Deserve, which was published in 2000, that he was wrong to say he supported late-term abortion. After he talked with doctors, he wrote, he would indeed support a ban on the procedure."
Or the secret Bill Kristol NH poll.
So even adding Ted’s first and second choice numbers together can’t catch Trump’s first choice number of 36% LOL!
Which one is not like the others????
So Cruzers, does your back hurt much from moving all those Titanic deck chairs?
Not only the melt down but the continuing rants day after day
Yes. Add the up all the numbers in the Cruz row. 10 points are missing.
Whatever the amount was. Lol. Its too similar to be ignored.
He just said, in his own words, not more than a week ago: “Planned Parenthood does wonderful things.”
Planned Parenthood sells baby parts. Planned Parenthood donates thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates.
If voters must rely on Trump’s minions to publish written documentation about his position, he has obviously not been very clear about it over the years or even last week, has he?
Perhaps a few more people are figuring out that Trump is a dangerous, immature, petulant ignoramus. We can only hope that more become similarly enlightened before it is too late.
I do wish FReepers would stop obsessing over stupid polls from leftist pricks. These polls are nothing more than propaganda vehicles to shape opinion.
What?? Explain.
“He just said, in his own words, not more than a week ago: “Planned Parenthood does wonderful things.”
You forgot to add the “but not with abortion” he said right after it. Twice.
I meant the nbc/wsj row. Sorry
