“However, the listing is weird......the order should be highest to lowest and not everything all over the place.”

I think they went with that whole “alphabetical” approach...

[ScottinVA]

if Trump wins Iowa, the primary is over

Presidents Huckabee and Santorum agree.

[Jim W N]

Hmmm...

Another suspicious poll. There’s so many of them. I thought generally they’ve shown Trump ahead in Texas, no?

[TexasFreeper2009]

wow.. this caught me off guard.

Texas hasn’t been polled in awhile, and I had been placing Texas in Trump column.

If Texas goes for Cruz... that could extend the primary beyond Florida. Texas isn’t winner take all, but it does have a 20% threshold. This could mean they could end up splitting the delegates between them.

Your stupid snotty reply does not change the fact that Trump is not those two candidates. Huckster and the great Santorum did not win NH and on. Trump will.

[napscoordinator]

Thanks. I don’t like that. I guess if everyone would do it that way, I could get used to it. But it seems like because Cruz won they wanted to make the impact lesser and I am not even a Cruz fan but it does seem suspect at best.

[IMR 4350]

You’re right.

That alphabetical order thing is just so weird.

Something else Trump will fix when he gets elected.

[progunsantichoice]

Texas always does the right thing for America. I love the lone star state.

The Texas Primary isn’t until Super Tuesday, March 1.

Is there EVER any truth on y’all’s lips?

Whose poll is this- source?

YouGov. Thank you. I’m not up for Cruzbot spew today. I confess I didn’t read all the replies.

[Dana1960]

This is really great news for Sen Cruz. He should win his home state, no?

I believe the GOP bylaws state that for a candidate to be placed for nomination, they must win 8 states by outright majority.

[OrangeHoof]

Iirc, Texas’ primary is not winner-take-all but a proportional delegation so a Cruz win or a Trump loss does not make a huge difference. Then again, my recollection is 4-8 years ago.

[nascarnation]

Texas always does the right thing for America.

You may be too young to remember Lyndon Baines Johnson.

[OrangeHoof]

The few Texas polls I have seen have always shown Cruz ahead. The question was by how much.

[PoloSec]

You are both right I can see how it all can be so confusing, weird, nefarious even, to Trumpanzees!

[Red Steel]

You are right. They are all broken up proportional until Florida, March 15th as a winner-take-all for 99 delegates where Trump has got a huge lead.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I saw some polls at one time that showed Trump leading in Texas.

[Fiddlstix]

i don’t really care for that either. However the guy who made the list obviously liked it that way.

[Enlightened1]

One little problem. By the time Texas votes, the Primaries will be already over.

Florida is the big one, and Trump is dominating it.
