Why do you believe that “50% voting against Trump” is relevant with respect to Cruz? There is no direct correlation.

Mainly because Cruz has been more able to pick up former Rubio, Carson, Fiorina etc. supporters than Trump has been thus far. Except for the fact that many Republicans consider Cruz to be a serious conservative and a qualified candidate, they are able to make the move. If it had been Cruz, not Walker who pulled out early, and Walker were the last man standing, then he'd be in this position. The same could be said about Jindal, Perry and others (except Carson, who suffered from lack of prep and a bad staff).
Cruz also did not go as far out of his way to insult candidates in ways that were either personal (Fiorina's face) or patently untrue (Walker's performance in Wisconsin, which is a large part of the reason why Trump failed there). Negatice campaigning, and personal campaigning can work, but it comes with its own price.
