Ted Cruz Overtakes Donald Trump in Latest Republican Presidential Poll
Wall Street Journel ^ | 2/17/16 | Janet Hook

Support for Donald Trump among Republicans has declined in the past month, leaving him slightly behind Sen. Ted Cruz in the race for GOP presidential nominee, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted after a combative debate performance that soured some voters on the New York businessman.

Mr. Trump had enjoyed a double-digit lead over his rivals, but the new poll found support for him falling by seven percentage points since mid-January. Among registered voters who said they would participate in a GOP primary, he drew 26% in the new survey, narrowly trailing Mr. Cruz, who had 28%.

The poll says what it says - it's not a SC poll, it is a national poll with a GOP sample of 400 people. Pretty big margin of error with that size sample.

I don't think it's worth arguing over - other polls will supplant this one in time. Maybe it's a bellwether, maybe it's an outlier. Too early to know.

Anyone who still supports Chump after he went Code Pink deserves the same treatment he dishes out to others.

Yep. You said the article was wrong. What was wrong? That the poll never happened? That it didn’t come up with the results it did?

Don’t like the results, that’s fine, but you are a liar to say the article is wrong. It factually reports the results of the poll.

Oh. I see you are also a crybaby, whining to Jim Robinson because I pointed out your lie.

Calling a spade a spade is just being honest. You lied when you said the article was wrong. It factually reported the results of a poll you didn’t like. Then you lied by claiming the article was wrong.

A Spade is a spade.

With all due respect, I have a question. Is a 2 point lead in any poll significant? Often the pollsters say “margin of error” when the numbers are close, and I would call 2 points a close poll.

So if the poll is indeed accurate, wouldn’t they be in a statistical dead heat?
