In an NBC/WSJ poll released today, Ted Cruz leads Donald Trump by two points nationally.
Cruz has 28 percent to Trump’s 26 percent. Rubio is third with 17 percent, followed by Kasich at 11, Carson at 10, and Bush in last place at 4 percent.
“The results from the poll -- conducted after Trump's victory in New Hampshire, as well as after Saturday's GOP debate in South Carolina -- are a significant reversal from last month, when Trump held a 13-point lead over Cruz, 33 percent to 20 percent.”
Donald Trump has polled first in 31 consecutive national polls since November, when Dr. Ben Carson briefly led Mr. Trump. Cruz’s lead over Trump comes a surprise given recent polling in South Carolina. Mr. Trump currently leads Ted Cruz by double digits there, with the South Carolina primary taking place on Saturday.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey, says Trump's drop could signal being “right on top of a shift in the campaign.”
In hypothetical one-on-one matchups, the NBC/WSJ national poll shows Trump behind both Cruz (56 percent to 40 percent) and Rubio (57 percent to 41 percent).
if Cruz is behind 2:1 in the Free Republic Caucus voting, there is no way he is leading anwhere
LOL I think it was 38 times!!!
So says a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump Enterprises.
Already 40, as I type another Cruz bot is creating two more thread on this topic.
noob also posted this breaking news..
ahhhhhhhh, don’t like the pollster, don’t like his logic, awwwww going to cry about another 10% of “Very Conservative”?
Why aren’t you ‘Very Conservative”? Something wrong with you?
Liberal?
Who would expect that Trump would poll well in the land of whorehouses, casinos, and Harry Reid. Why, if Harry can just turn out the SEIU vote, that's a third of the state.
Not sure. The mods have pulled a few already. Not sure how this repost got into breaking news at 10:00 though...
So Cruz voters are very conservative??
I agree that I am skeptical of polls.
Trump is definitely playing to Democrats. But we have to always ask day after day: "Whose side is he really on?" as he goes for their votes.
You’re right! You are a great American.
You got us now!
Kinda like that moron who did the unskewed polls in 2012 that had everyone thinking Romney was going to win?
This from one of the Putin boot lickers on this website. LOL.
You can conduct all the polls you want, but unless they are represeentative of the actual turnout, they don’t mean a whole lot.
Boy....You got him! Cruz will lose and Trump (praise his name) is the winner. Why even vote...it’s a done deal. I’d recommend all Trump supporters just stay home because Trump has already won!
Don’t waste your time voting folks!
I like ‘special sauce’ on my burgers. Not so much on presidential primary polls. Kinda yucky.
Has there ever been a "winner" with more excuses than Donald Trump?
IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a ânatural born citizenâ is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.
