Boom: Cruz 40, Trump 30 in New Wisconsin Poll
Townhall ^ | March 30, 2016 | Guy Benson

"No matter what he does, Trump always goes up in the polls!" That's the line Trump followers routinely employ when their man dives face-first into the latest unseemly controversy du jour -- including, most recently, spreading conspiracy theories to justify attacking and threatening Ted Cruz's wife. The reality is that while Trump's boorish showmanship doesn't harm his standing among a certain percentage of the GOP primary electorate, it most certainly hurts him among voters generally. The brash billionaire's overall unfavorable ratings have swelled to the mid-60's, spiking into the stratosphere among women. And now we have a fresh data point pertaining to Republican voters in the crucial primary state of Wisconsin, where voters head to the polls next Tuesday. If Trump manages to prevail in Badgerland -- which boasts a robust and distinctly anti-Trump conservative talk radio culture and a conservative governor who's endorsed Cruz -- his victory would likely confer a sense of inevitability upon Trump's candidacy. With New York looming, this is about as close to a must-win as Cruz is going to face in the month of April. A new survey from Marquette Law School, widely viewed as the gold standard polling outfit in the state, shows Cruz erasing Trump's ten-point February lead and leaping out to a ten-point advantage of his own....

That’s what I’m hoping for. Everyone I know personally is depressed about this election.

Madison, now THAT is a reliable barometer of American thinking.

Whatever un-American or anti-American sentiment may be found anywhere within the territory once known as “the United States of America”, it is almost certainly represented in sizable numbers on Bascom Hill and in the Eagle Heights apartment complexes.

It is said, that when a real live American passes by the statue of Lincoln, seated on Bascom Hill, that the statue rises up and bows.

Truly a nest of vipers infests that woodland preserve surrounding Picnic Point.

Yep. Neither Trump or Cruz can win woman’s votes. They are flat out unelectable. Run a contested convention and put in Walker or Perry.

It doesn't matter which GOP candidate you put out there, they will be given the "War on Women" treatment because the GOP is clueless on how to deal with it. Until the GOP starts focusing on who the true enemy is, they'll continue being the Keystone Kops of politics.

It’s funny to see the cruzites celebrating like they’re actually winning

something.

In the end, no one but the establishment wins.

Cruzites: winning a battle and celebrating like they’re winning the war. The

war is the nomination and neither cruz nor trump are going to get it.

Donald’s ex wives and employees strongly support him, say totally positive things about him, and are amazingly loyal to him. Even those “fired.”

His national spokeswoman is very effective as are the other women speaking on his behalf. He clearly has no problem attracting women who are intelligent and beautiful. His wife is, without doubt, a first class and independent woman. His daughter just as amazing and he trusts them both implicitly.

Don’t swallow Democratmedia bilge, it can be ruinous to rational thought as is demonstrated on FR.

Their delegates are insufficient to matter. Even if they all go to Ted, T only has to get 53% of those outstanding.

It is a slam dunk.

Most would vote for Cruz, if he won the nomination fair and square. He has no chance to do that, so if the convention loses its senses and nominates him, many would see that as the same idiocy which has made the GOP the Surrender First, Last and Always party. It would be perceived as treachery.

Personally I will vote for any candidate even knowing they are going to hit a wall as I did for the last two chumps who ran. I would vote for Cruz with even less enthusiasm knowing he isn’t even eligible.

What do you mean trump can’t get 1237? Yes he can even if he loses multiple states.

Interestingly, Trump did a townhall in Wisconsin with Anderson Cooper either yesterday or before. The ratings were the best they ever had against Fox. As a matter of fact the town hall ratings were better than Fox,Msnbc combined. Wonder why?

This same poll has Paul Ryan’s approval rating at 77 percent among republicans and 59 percent among independents.

How is Trump not going to get at least 53% of the remaining delegates? It is a myth spread by the media that it will be difficult.

I would disagree with this... I don’t like Trump personally, but am also not offended by him. I live in a blue state, and the only women I’ve met who openly like him are minorities. But I also know moderates and republican women...who will tell you quietly that they are supporting Trump. Not because he’s great on womens issues, and some are also repulsed by his ignorant statements...but because they think he’s the only person who is standing up to terrorism and the crazy open door immigration.

We shall see.... in the end let’s remember to vote #neverHillary

Well, I saw Luntz was pushing this poll on twitter, so I’ll reserve comment on the veracity of it.
