For the first time in the Republican primary, Reuters’ tracking poll shows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) leading Donald Trump among likely voters in the Republican primaries.
This is also the first time Donald Trump hasn’t led the tracking poll in 2016.
Cruz has the support of 39 percent of likely Republican voters nationwide, just ahead of Donald Trump, who has 37 percent support. Ohio Governor John Kasich is a distant third, with 23 percent support.
In the broader survey of all Republicans, rather than likely voters, Trump still has a four-point lead. This, however, is sharply down from the 28-point lead he enjoyed in the middle of March.
Trump’s current support among Republican likely voters is the lowest since the end of February, when Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ben Carson were still in the race. Since the race narrowed to three remaining candidates, Trump has enjoyed the support of almost half of Republican voters, or 45 percent...

LOL...twirling for delegates ;-)
It's worth noting, FReeper heights, that you have now openly stated that you will vote for Hillary Clinton over Ted Cruz.
I don't think making three, small, personal donations of $50 apiece qualifies me as a "financial bundler." No, I'm just an ordinary citizen who wants to support the best conservative in the race.
Yes, there are some of us here who actually want to support a social and constitutional conservative for president! Crazy, I know!
I don’t think he’s read the book
Yep. Thanks.
Full disclosure would help many Freepers who do not understand why you constantly post pro-cruz political articles.
2nd is the Ted Cruz campaign manager on Free Republic.
He is doing an outstanding job.
Hopefully we will get to see more articles showing Cruz going for Hillary's and Bernie's throats.
In other news I hope Cruz wins. Gets to be POTUS. It will be the SOS. Judging by Trump's popularity the number of people sick of the SOS is rising.
A Ted Cruz POTUS will lead us down the path to an inevitability: CWII
Do you know what a “social and constitutional conservative” is? If you support the non-con Trump, maybe you don’t.
America first is conservative.
Writing NAFTA, Pushing TPP, Siding with Black lives matters against cops, blaming Islamic terrorism on Trump, Handing our gift baskets to illegals, Pushing Judges like Roberts, being for amnesty, America losing Trade Nuclear Iran, Etc is NOT Conservative.
Well if all it took was enormous crowds than Sarah Palin should have been able to drag McLame over the finish line.
Passion doesn’t equal majority of votes. Especially if the passion on the other side AGAINST your candidate is greater than the passion for your candidate.
Now doubt about it Trump has some loyal and passionate supporters. But the other side also has a lot of passionate haters—they get to vote as well.
Against a candidate like Hillary someone who doesn’t stir as much passion on the other side is probably the better choice. Rats don’t really want her to win so if they can stomach the other guy they will stay at home.
I was wondering how’s your bundling for Ted going? Raised enough for a position in a Cruz administration yet?
I haven’t really seen you comment on that lately.
Bet you were saying that when it showed for months, D. Trump ahead!!?
There is no “trajectory.”
Each election is a world unto itself.
Cruz is leading in Reuters world, where once was Trump’s only hope.
Reuters is way anti-Cruz.
Thats not what im seeing on their site..

The Donald is a Crony Capitalist. He’s been buying politicans all his adult life. Nothing conservative about that.
