CBS News poll: Trump maintains commanding lead [2/12-2/16 Trump 35%, Cruz 18%, Rubio 12%]
CBS ^ | 02/18/2016 | Anthony Salvanto

....Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters say they have now made up their minds about whom to vote for, up from 35 percent last month. But Trump's supporters are surer about their choice: Two-thirds of Trump voters now say they have made up their minds. Among those supporting other candidates, the race is more fluid; two-thirds of them may still change their minds.

Trump's support cuts across nearly every demographic group in the Republican electorate. He holds a double digit lead among Republicans and independents, men and women, white evangelicals, and Americans of all income levels. He leads among Republican voters of all age and education levels, but does particularly well among voters without college degrees.

Trump also holds a double digit lead among moderates and those who describe themselves as somewhat conservative, and has a five point lead over Ted Cruz among very conservative Republican voters.

You paid propaganda bots are so easy to spot. Your postings are always so ridiculously moronic that no thinking person can take you seriously.

Bingo!

I also love how they accuse Trump supporters of being personality cultists, infatuated with a TV personality, worshiping an idol, etc. But it's the Cruz campaign claiming their man is on a mission from God, is showing us the Face of God, has been anointed by the Lord to show us to the rapture, etc.

The messianic message coming from Ted's father and lunatics like Glenn Beck is very, very disturbing. But Donald Trump is 'our idol'. Nuts.

Though you mock the Donald as a liberal, all the so called conservatives in Congress have lied to win the 2010 and 2014 elections and mocked us who are conservatives. And Cruz has been failing on many fronts also.
I will trust in Donald as both the dems and rinos in Congress have proved themselves liars and hypocrites and thieves. Scum buckets who hate America for sure.

your idol will never build a wall, unless he gets a shell company with a subcontractor that hires only illegals. Hey, this is Texas you won’t have to look around to far looking for them

Just like in NH, Trump’s support is strong in all demographics. The fact that he’s winning among self described ‘Very Conservative’and ‘Evangelical’ voters is very telling.

The Murduch agenda poll has been exposed as being 100% bogus. Another Murdoch poll, the Fox poll, comes out in a few minutes, let’s see if that reports what the other 99.9% of them report, and that’s Trump blowing away the field. Or will it deflate Trump’s numbers. Show me another poll other than the WSJ/NBC poll that shows Cruz winning, nationally or in any state other than Texas. The polls have not changed any since before the last debate. When will the GOP hacks understand that most republicans despise RINO George W. Bush and also think attacking Iraq was a very bad idea. I get sick and tired of hearing that warmongering liberal GW Bush has a 61% approval rating. I voted for the liberal clown in 2000 but certainly didn’t make the mistake twice. I voted for Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party. I knew he couldn’t win, but at least I was able to sleep with myself.

Isn’t it time for you to get in that pickup truck of yours and drive around while honest folks work? Or isn’t your shift over yet. I’m curious, do paid cruzbots like you work by the hour or by the post? Do you get assigned where you post or do you get to pollute the internet anywhere you like?

If the PR firm that did the Murdoch WSJ/NBC poll has anything to do with it Fox will have Trump and Cruz tied!! I can’t wait. The gospel from Trump hating Fox News.

“Then why did Trump get a segment on Fox & Friends each week for years? He was given the floor and talked about anyone and anything he wanted to.”

Ratings.

I've got no debt

Never said you did. Congratulations. When Bernie starts taking from successful folks like you and gives it to slackers with massive college debt like my kids, I'll make sure they at least thank you for it.

That was before he decided to run for president without Murdoch approval.

Sure, that why you so emotionally hysteric that you advocate voting for an self proclaimed socialist over any Republican candidate
    I read hysterics is so many of the political thread comments regarding Cruz and Trump lately I proffer these explanations
  1. Cruz fans have wrapped their religious faith around Rafael Edward Cruz to the extent they are becoming unhinged. Heidi's threatened meltdown in a plea for money in that infamous email was Exhibit A.
  2. I've seen a similar Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) among Democrats; he terrifies them, that he could sweep away their political world with all its firewalls is scary to them.
  3. Trump is rhetorically over the top. I think he does it naturally to emphasize his key points. I will judge him, should he win, by his performance in office.
  4. I was originally for Cruz and switched to Trump. I do not think Cruz could unite Republican voters or bring in habitual nonvoters; if Evangelicals did not care to vote against Obama before ... having to preach to them to vote is going to turn off more voters than it catches. Pentecostal Dominionism is a losing platform.
  5. And who retires at 45 ? Get back to work at a second career or volunteer lest the talents given are taken away.
