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.
College polls are always something!
Go, Ted, go!
University poll...nuff said....
If Ted wins here, The Donald will be fit to be tied.
One can only imagine the degree of ridiculousness he will go to smear his opponent.
Start telling to drop out.
At least Rush goes with a winner and understands Cruz isn't one.
Thats 1.
Just 8% in his home state against the Donald? Stick a fork in him, he’s dome.
Does it matter? Trump still wins a nice haul of TX delegates to pad his massive lead.
This is going to be Cruz’s high-water mark. Its downhill from then on.
Cruz should quit if he cant win texas
It would be interesting if Sarah Palin, who was instrumental in getting CanuckTed into the Senate, joins Trump in campaigning in Texas.
Sarah’s presence would send a message that even she sees CanuckTed as just another phony politician...which he is.
Cruz ahead by 8%.? That can’t be...Two tRumpets have already told me that tRump wins Texas.
There are only a handful of states that Cruz has a legitimate shot at winning. Even if he gets Texas, Arkansas and/or Oklahoma—where else is he viable?
Not just any university, UT. One of the largest university groups in the country.
waterloo.
I look forward to this poll being spammed 20,000 times as proof that Ted Cruz’s crushing 8 point victory means Trump is doomed because Ted won’t get 50% of the vote in his own state and the extra 47 delegates will be split. LOL
I’ll wait to see what the polls say next weekend. Trump is expected to win NV quite handily, giving him 3 wins in a row, and that will have some effect. I’d also like to see Trump stage a few of his mega rallies in TX this week. He’ll be in TX for the debate on Thursday, maybe he can show up on Wednesday, and have rallies in Houston and Dallas, and maybe San Antonio.
Misleading title
Usual
He just keeps climbing in Texas the more Trump attacks!!!
