Rupert and his fellow travelers at this polling entity are using this as a tool to create a talking point for Fox and to a larger degree possibly local NBC affiliates in South Carolina in order to give their primary voters the impression that Trump is vulnerable and to discourage his supporters and encourage his detractors to try to influence the vote and turnout

I’d take it with a grain of salt

This primary season has shown me once again Murdoch and Ailes consider themselves our gatekeepers

Don’t believe me ask an Englishman

Another IQ-challenged Trump supporter.

These people are actually proud that they’re led around like circus animals by a conman.

Great news! Murdoch and the WSJ hate Cruz.

And hopefully people will hear about Trump’s support for the Obamacare mandate before they vote.

The WSJ is tossing it’s credibility into the pot on the poker table.

36 hours until reality comes home to roost.

Imagine walking back into that building on Monday morning realizing the National Inquirer won the pot.

Ba bye...

-—They paid for the poll, but it was conducted by Marist College.

This pollster has a good reputation - fivethrityeight rates it as a B+, based upon its past predictive accuracy. The poll additionally has a sample of over 2,700.-—

2700 is a yuuuuuge sample size.

-— If Trump starts massively attacking Cruz this poll is probably accurate. -—

His inner Code Pink is being exposed by the pressure. Do Americans really want an unstable president?

-— I can only hope that Bernie-mania will tamp down the Dem cross-overs in upcoming states. -—

That is the importance of his campaign.

The latter primaries are mainly northern, winner-take-all. Cruz will need all the conservatives he can get.

All I can say about this photo is that I’m happy Trump dresses to show his respect for his audience, American people, and the office of President. Blue jeans? Really?

*YAWN*

All you've got are insults against those who support Trump, the hallmark of CruzBots, many of which believe their guy is "On A Misson From God" as Jake Elwood said.

Here, get some perspective champ:

I like Cruz. Comes across as a solid constitutional conservative. Christian. Young man with talent and potential, though not much real world experience. Barely got his ears wet in the senate, but already wants to tackle the world. Go get 'em, Tiger.

I didn't like Trump, until he started knocking it out of the park on a daily basis. Now I'm ok with him as insurance. If Cruz doesn't get the nomination and Trump does, I think he'll mop the floor with traitor Hillary.

Trump is the lion in the race.

If it's Trump vs Sanders America has a clear choice to make. Will we continue as a Judeo-Christian capitalist country or will we die as a godless communist state?

Actually, that same choice applies to Trump vs Hillary, but the Butcheress of Benghazi may be more of a fascist than a communist. Thoroughly corrupt either way. And same results either way. Godless totalitarianism.

Absolutely essential for our nation's survival that we win this next election. Another godless America-hating commie at the helm following Obama, we're done as a free country.

And the fact that Trump supported partial birth abortion last week.

I’m sure Tricky Teddy is cooking up the election day smears. He’ll be busted for it again, no doubt.

"I suspect the SEIU and others will bus in votes for Kasich and/or other losers."

Why in the world would they do that?

If one is to believe national polls, Hillary trails ALL the "other losers", but leads Trump in head-to-head. It makes MUCH more sense for Dems to boost Trump, not to hurt his chances.

That doddering old goat is 84 years old, he's going to be taking a dirt nap sooner rather than later and trying to screw up the inevitable election of President Donald J. Trump is all he's hanging on for.

Boycott Fox, send Murdoch packing back to Oz, where he came from! Murdoch take MGYN with you to Oz.

Based on the trajectory in Cruz numbers from this poll, if Ted does not win SC by at least 10-20 points it will be a total failure on Ted’s part. It will be over for him.
