Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has fallen behind Ted Cruz in the national GOP horserace, according to a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
In the poll, Cruz is the first choice of 28 percent of Republican primary voters, while Trump gets 26 percent. They're followed by Marco Rubio at 17 percent, John Kasich at 11 percent, Ben Carson at 10 percent and Jeb Bush at 4 percent.
I have been thinking about this poll and here is my thought. Combine this poll with the Nikky Haley endorsement of Rubio and I think we are seeing an all out effort by the GOPe to stop Trump. They warned us about a firewall in South Carolina and this is part of it.
Stacking the debate audience against Trump and Cruz was another tactic. I know the other candidates will be jumping all over this poll and ignoring the other 5 that show something quite different.
That will be his downfall. He's a junk yard dog who bits everyone and everything in his path.
An NBC and News Corp poll? Ha! MSNBC and FOX, perfect together. Time to take the red pill and see that these scumbags are all in it together.
Furthermore, when it’s just Cruz vs. Trump, Cruz wins by 16%!
The best thing for Cruz is that he has MOMENTUM on his side - very important in a political race.!
Speaking of momentum what was up with Hillary? She was coughing so much it was ridiculous! She may keel over! Her crowd chanted her name while she tried to recover...she was hacking out a lung at her rally!
Establishment propaganda for Cruz. Predictable.
Outlier.
Poor ole Hillary just can’t get a break. :)
Some wonder about her health.
I haven’t looked at it yet, but if the primary voters are a subset of registered voters then it would have a larger MoE; smaller sample size means larger MoE. So, perhaps they screened very tight on likely primary voters.
I always thought we should have Canadian leadership.

The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest “Agenda Poll”. We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ’s prior two constructs.......
[SNIP]
Remember, an “agenda poll” is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An “agenda poll” has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.
Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Praising planned parenthood, getting busted in a lie about Cruz after calling Cruz a liar, and going all code pink on 9-11 and Iraq has consequences.
The big liberal media will do anything to drive Trump out of the primary race. One of their favorite ploys has been pushing Cruz. This “poll†is absolute nonsense.

Strange comment when one considers all the Big Liberal Media polls that show Trump leading.

Because he is leading, leftest media just throwing a fraudulent one in, trying to create a little momentum for Hillary, oops I mean Cruz, just before the SC vote. Leftest media is positively orgasmic over just the thought of a Cruz/Hillary match up.
Candidates I favor never win.
How about voting democrat io Novemmber?
Thanks. Makes sense. Do you know how to weight? For ex., I want an accuate averaging of two different age groups, 19-44 and 45-60. How do I do that?
That’s just mean.
Rafael will be crying all the harder Saturday night, now.
I heard he’s a Canadian secret agent and secret best bud of Mitch McConnel!
lol
Yeah that’s going hard on Obama.... Trump obviously afraid to upset the liberals who support him. Please Conservatives beware the wolf in sheep clothing.
