Poll: Cruz beats Trump head-to-head
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2016 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 01/14/2016 11:13:50 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz would beat rival Donald Trump in a theoretical head-to-head matchup, a new national poll from The Wall Street Journal and NBC News shows.

However, among all GOP candidates, Trump still holds a commanding lead as the first choice of 33 percent support nationally. Cruz takes second, with 20 percent.

NBC News Jan 14. 2015: Trump More Than Doubles National Lead in NBC/WSJ Poll

"....in a hypothetical one-on-one race between the two Republicans, Cruz tops Trump, 51 percent to 43 percent, while Trump beats Rubio in their one-on-one matchup, 52 percent to 45 percent.

In a three-way contest featuring the Top 3 Republicans in the poll, Trump gets 40 percent, Cruz 31 percent and Rubio 26 percent, underscoring the overall strengthen out of the outsider/insurgent wing of the Republican Party.

Maybe the most striking finding in this NBC/WSJ poll is the growing GOP acceptance of Trump. Back in March, only 23 percent of Republican primary voters said they could see themselves supporting the real-estate mogul. Now that number stands at 65 percent.

The Republican candidates with the highest percentages on this question are Cruz (at 71 percent, up from 40 percent in March) and Rubio (at 67 percent, up from 56 percent 10 months ago)......

Yes, it reminds me of the types of things they did to sell WWII bonds. How could they?

Those little girls were charming and talented. It must be horrible to be a bitter old crane and only see the bad in a performance like that. Forgive her for she is unhinged by the success of her enemy.

Trump getting endorsements from the dead? That’s an insult. Reagan had so much more class than Trump, and was conservative.

When someone posts a picture of Ronald Reagan endorsing Donald Trump I feel compelled to push back.

Yes the girls are very talented and cute, but it does bring to mind the “Yes he can, can, can - Obama’s going to lead us..” children’s video.

Such a misrepresentation. Ronnie Reagan was positive and a conservative. Reagan never called people vile names or tried to humiliate others.
DT trashes, humiliates, trashes, and brags on himself nonstop. Reagan was a statesman. DT is a salesman and the product is always himself.

Do you remember all the American flags flying after 9-11?

Well, of course you do.

I still keep one on my car (had to replace it once). When I go out to the parking lot now, it is the only car with an American flag on it.

I do remember.

It wasn’t just NY and NYC that rose up, it was the entire country.

Cruz was poking Trump in the chest about his use of Alinsky tactic - promoting liberal talking points.

Trump (to boos) said the “birther” matter hadn’t concerned him before but now that Cruz is moving up he had made the tactical decision to use it (paraphrasing).
