With Super Tuesday just one week away, Sen. Ted Cruz remains the favorite to win his home state, according to a new poll.

Cruz is polling well in Texas. A survey published Tuesday by the University of Texas/Texas Tribune says he is 8 points in front of rival Republican candidate Donald Trump, with 37 percent support to Trump’s 29 percent. Texas has the most delegates of any March 1 primary state.

They are trailed by Sen. Marco Rubio with 15 percent support, followed by Jeb Bush (who has now dropped out of the race) at 6 percent. Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) and Dr. Ben Carson trail the field with 5 and 4 percent respectively.

Tea Party supporters overwhelmingly favor Cruz, 56 percent to Trump’s 26 percent. Rubio, though he ran for the Senate as a Tea Party-backed candidate, only grabbed 8 percent of citizens who identified with the constitutional conservative group.

Trump struggled the most with younger voters, according to the poll. He secured only 10 percent support from voters aged 18-29. His best performing age bracket fell in the 45-64 range.

Rubio’s most favorable age group came from the 65+ bracket.

Cruz led all age groups, but performed best with voters aged 30-44.

"Good because unless Cruz gets 50%, Texas is a proportional state."

Even if Cruz gets 50%, or 40%, or 60%, Texas is still a proportional state.

That's something we gotta fix.

"I actually love what Trump has done to bash the Establishment and the media. But those guns now target Conservatives almost exclusively - and so do his followers.
So his time in the sun with me is over. But I did pick up on the fact that the insane euphoria of 2008 has transposed itself to Trump, and his rabid supporters are not much different than those who wanted Hope and Change."

Nicely put.

And unlike what comes from Trump and his supporters - rational.

Weird.

Not exactly damning but... weird.

You’re not going to win anyone over being yourself

[INVAR]

I’m not trying to ‘win’ anyone over to a particular candidate.

I’m simply stating my observations. This people will choose whatever king appeals to their desires, and if it fits what the Rulers have planned, then they shall have it.

If not, the Rulers will convince them they want what they will subject them to.

Either way, the time to ‘win’ anyone over to what Conservative principles dictate is long gone. We can no longer even agree what that term means. And since most refuse to see what is happening right in front of their face, who am I to convince them otherwise?

I’m Nobody in the eyes of this people, and most do not want to hear what I have to say anyway. I state what I do for perhaps a soulful few who recognize the truth in what I post who will do what is necessary for themselves.

For the rest, what is coming shall be on their own heads.
