ATLANTA Donald Trump's 10-point lead over Ted Cruz among Georgia voters is as strong as anywhere in the country, according to a survey for Morris News Service released Monday.Trump claims one out of every three people questioned who said they plan to vote in the March 1 primary or 33 percent. Cruz has the allegiance of nearly one in four or 23 percent, up from 16 percent on Dec. 18.
The other candidates were in single digits in the survey of 803 likely voters conducted by automated callers to phones and mobile devices. It was conducted Sunday by OpinionSavvy in conjunction with InsiderAdvantage for Morris News and FOX5 Atlanta. The margin of error is 3.5 percent.
"Donald Trump continues to lead among every age group and across every segment of voter alignment, ranging from those who say they are very conservative to the few respondents who claim to be liberal," said Matt Towery, founder of InsiderAdvantage and a former Republican strategist. "Cruz continues to make progress in the numbers as well."
Trump leads among women, men, whites and blacks who took the survey. Trump came in second among Latinos to Marco Rubio.

GA is all in for Trump. Totally.
a lotta people gonna be shocked when cruz pulls this out... most people not supporting trump now, are not gonna support trump later...
only if he is the only one in the race...
GO CRUZ!
He holds no lead because no voting has happened.
I don’t watch TV, but have heard almost NO radio ads down here at all - But its about 45 days away from the primary.
Seems like every campaign has given up on trying to “get” the state away from Trump-Cruz.
New York values Trumping Canadian values in the deep South?
GA FReeper ping.
All I’ve seen in GA is “Cruz ‘16” e-billboards.
And even among that 23% favoring Cruz, many (myself included) are just fine with Trump winning.
Florida’s going for Trump too...
Well, I’m a New Yorker married to a Canadian living in Georgia.
And I’ll vote for Cruz and be content with Trump.
Enjoy the warm winters!
(although I had a buddy who lived down south of Macon and it’s really hot summers down in that section)
18 - 19 degrees last night!
Most likely the debate really heated this up. The comment about New Yorkers was ill advised.
You sound like Karl Rove.
An even bigger majority aren’t supporting Cruz right now. What makes you think they will support him later?
Because he wants to run the table on the states and win overwhelmingly to do away with any potential “contested” convention.
So 20F higher than here in the midwest, LOL
“If Trump is so far ahead and has an insurmountable lead...why is he going after Ted Cruz so ruthlessly??? “
Because there is no such thing in the history of elections of not.
Or do you remember all of the happy ads that Clinton ran against Dole in October of 1996, because I sure dont.
10 points? that’s all? hmmmm.
I agree, this poll shows Trump topping out, not pulling away.
