A suite of new polls suggest that Ted Cruz may be gaining rapidly on Donald Trump in several key upcoming primary contests.
In Wisconsin, an Emerson poll conducted March 20-22 has Cruz leading Trump by 1%, 36% to 35%. A separate poll taken March 19-20 by the Washington Free Beacon shows Cruz with a 5% lead over Trump, 36% to 31%. Both are significant improvements for Cruz compared to previous polling data from late February, which showed him trailing Trump by 11%.
In California, a Los Angeles Times poll from March 16-23 puts Cruz now in a statistical tie (35% vs. 36%) with Trump, up from trailing Trump by between 5% to 16% in early/mid-March.
While Trump still leads in Pennsylvania, his margin has shrunk dramatically in recent weeks. A Franklin & Marshall poll conducted March 14-20 shows Trump with just a 3% lead over John Kasich (33% to 30%) and a 13% lead over Cruz. Back at the start of the month, Trump held a 19% lead over Cruz and a 26% lead over Kasich.
Polling data expected out this upcoming week should begin to show the impacts of the respective foreign policy choices the candidates are espousing.
In recent interviews with the Washington Post and the New York Times, Trump has articulated what might be considered a more isolationist/libertarian foreign policy that would involve possible large cuts in defense spending, a reduced involvement in geopolitical events, and allowing – potentially even encouraging – nations such as South Korea and Japan to obtain their own nuclear weapons deterrence as a replacement for the U.S. nuclear umbrella.
In contrast, Cruz's choice of Frank Gaffney and other members of the Center for Security Policy as his key foreign policy team paints a much more traditionally conservative view..

LOL, not for long. Teds excellent adventures are starting to emerge.
He will leave in shame.
Yet they were great a month or two ago when they showed Trump with a double digit lead.
POLLS WHEN I DO NOT LIKE THE RESULTS = garbage, slime, drivel, filled with mistakes
All before the mistress scandal.
Let’s see what it is the end of this week.
I hope that what follows is that Romney, McCain, Jeb and Graham (etc) will lose all credibility with their backstabbing attempts to steal the nomination.
A much large poll was given to 468 hookers who worked Ashley Madison
and the whoring politicians of DC.
They were asked: "Would they sleep with Sen. Cruz and his rat?"
83% are said to have retorted, "Never again!".
Texas poll: Trump gaining; now within 7
Oklahoma poll: Trump leads by double digits over Cruz
Telling a pollster what they want to hear versus actual behavior in the privacy of the voting booth . . .
Funny if it weren’t so sad, are there really that many stupid people.
The facts say, Cruz can’t win FL,OH, or VA. he has to win all of them; therefore a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.
Why sure. Take a bunch of propped-up polls, then set up the fraud elections & WALLA! There you have the leftist intended results. Yep, That's our country.
There is no Mistress scandal.
Just trash with many of Trumps smear merchants/followers reposting the same fake stuff over and over.
So far there is just nothing there. Maybe that is why everyone but the Trump supporting National Enquirer chose to avoid the story.
I don’t know if mistresses will stop Cruz. He spent years building his outsider image, has Rush and Levin 100% in his corner, and now GOP money and organization.
It’s a lot to overcome and though Trump fights the good fight it’s him against the entire government (Cruz included), all media, billions of donor money, and right-wing media that people still trust.
I pray for Trump.
Donny would get schlonged by Hillary in November. Therefore a vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary.
