There are 4 new polls out. Here they are, including the NBC/WSJ poll.

Only the NBC/WSJ poll has Cruz anywhere near the lead.

So for now, it’s an outlier.

You are right on target about Trump.

Cruz is the ONLY true Conservative.

It is close to the supposed internal poll the Bush campaign did, so at least two polls are getting similar results.

Believe it or don't.

I tend to not believe it and it sounds like an outlier. Both Suffolk and the Q-Poll are out today and show Trump well ahead. Additionally, why is Trump doing so well in South Carolina if he's behind nationally? Just doesn't make sense.

Buoyed by strong voter dissatisfaction with the Republican status quo, Donald Trump holds a commanding double-digit lead over all his rivals in South Carolina, according to the latest Monmouth University survey of likely primary voters released Wednesday afternoon.

Trump earned 35 percent, followed by 19 percent for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 17 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 9 percent for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 8 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 7 percent for Ben Carson. Just 5 percent of voters say they remain undecided among that group.

Overall, 42 percent said they are completely decided ahead of Saturday’s primary, with 31 percent indicating that they have a strong preference. Just 11 percent indicated a slight preference, while 17 percent said they are undecided on their candidate

Don’t like the results of this poll?

Wait 5 minutes and some source will release a contradictory poll.

Also, Cruz was endorsed by James Dobson today.

Yeah. I had another unsolicited e-mail from Ted today telling me that.

And yet the sTRUMPettes will defend and deflect in droves. I like Trump for some qualities but he needs to go after the dems not the pubs. This is a time for the two main candidates to circle the wagons.

I wish two more candidates would drop out: Bern and Hill

A new weekly national tracking poll from NBC News shows Donald Trump adding to his lead over the Republican field, while Hillary Clinton’s lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% narrows slightly. Trump has the support of 38 percent of Republicans nationally, 20 points higher than his nearest rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

>>The big liberal media will do anything to drive Trump out of the primary race.<<

Wrong. The big liberal media wants Trump as the nominee since he’ll be the easiest for Hillary to beat.

I will believe it when I see it, not to mention that the “poll” could have asked ANYTHING that favored Cruz, basically stacking the deck in Cruz’s favor. I have NO, ZERO faith in polls and never have. Polls are like noses, everyone has one and they are all different.
