Are you really that mathematically challenged? A 10% lead over your closest opponent is 900% higher than a 1% lead over your closest opponent. Nobody cares who the top loser is.

And btw, it also doesn’t show whether Cruz’ surge is over or not. It only shows he’s higher than three months ago. That was before Cruz had his “surge”. Unless you have figures from a couple weeks ago when it stopped, it only shows he went up at some point and has retained some of it. For all you know, Cruz could have been at 18% three weeks ago and has lost ground since.
