A new poll conducted by the Washington Free Beacon shows Ted Cruz expanding his lead in Wisconsin.
500 likely primary voters were queried on March 19 and 20; 36.2% favored Cruz while 31.4% of voters chose Trump. Jon Kasich garnered 20.8% of the vote.
The poll found that if Kasich dropped out, Cruz's support would soar to 47.8%; Trump would only increase to 36.2%
Cruz's 4.8 point lead was an increase from the one-point advantage he held in an Emerson poll released on Wednesday. Every poll taken that had ben quoted in the past by Real Clear politics showed Trump leading Cruz.
Trump proved to be hugely disliked by Wisconsinites; his net favorable rating clocked in at only +9.8, compared to +35.4 for Cruz and +41.2 for Kasich.
Almost 60% of respondents felt Trump "does not have the right temperament to be president." Over 60% agreed he "holds numerous liberal positions."
Two major anti-Trump groups will spend heavily to defeat Trump in Wisconsin, according to NBC News: Our Principles PAC and Club for Growth. Club for Growth announced it would spend $1 million for ads.
Unfortunately, the school has changed a bit since then as can be easily demonstrated by looking at more recent graduates.
Yes, I know, shocking, but true.

I wouldn’t worry too much about this flawed poll as it is been described as an GOPee targeted push poll. And it is...

Cruzers on the FR getting pretty desperate now. If Cruz drops out there go the paychecks.
Q3. - ARE YOU MORE LIKELY TO VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY? - 141 Total - 141 100.0 REPUBLI
Wow. 141 LV is a really small sample size. The MoE would be much higher, too.
Actually Atreides, I've read that Cruz was indeed...broomin' witches last week.
Liz, I heard that some witches now need David's services!
