“More than half of Republican voters say they may still change their minds about who to support, but two thirds of Trump voters say their minds are made up....

As attention shifts to the Supreme Court after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Republican primary voters are split between Donald Trump (25 percent) and Ted Cruz (25 percent) over who is most trusted to make appointments to the Supreme Court. Moderates strongly favor Trump (27 percent), while conservatives favor Cruz, and those who consider themselves very conservative chose Cruz (38 percent) over Trump (19 percent).

Trust Most to Make Appointment to the Supreme Court

Fifty-one percent of Republican primary voters think Donald Trump is prepared to be President - though slightly more think so of Ted Cruz (57 percent). Just 42 percent of Republican primary voters think Marco Rubio is prepared to be President.

Despite his many perceived strengths with voters, the percentage who think Donald Trump shares their values has dropped slightly since January, from 59 percent last month to 50 percent today. Trump trails both Cruz and Rubio when it comes to sharing the values of Republican primary voters.

In addition, many Republican primary voters don’t think Donald Trump’s policies are realistic: 44 percent think they are and 50 percent think they are not. In contrast, majorities of Republican primary voters think both Ted Cruz (57 percent) and Marco Rubio (58 percent) have realistic policy proposals.

There is no doubt that Donald Trump has expanded beyond the very conservative republican type voter.

However, he’s able to get away with that because of the absolute dereliction of George Bush in regard to amnesty, which he directly supported; in regard to the justification of the war, which he refused to defend; and Islamic radicalism, which he tried to redefine as a ‘religion of peace’.
