Donald Trump holds a narrow, three-point lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows, but the data also reveal potential cracks in his support.

WSJ/NBC polls are almost always wrong. They hate Trumpolini!

The vulgarian, con-man, and snake-oil salesman is finally being exposed for who he is. This is why he extracts sworn pledges of allegiance from his devotees that they will come out and vote for him.

I’m a big Cruz fan and I would like to believe this poll. But it just doesn’t pass the Smell Test. Let’s see how the voting goes over the next two weeks before anyone gets too excited.

If it’s WSJ/NBC, add 10 points for Trump.

Where the hell are these polls coming from.

KInda looks like an anti-Trump campaign.

I find it hard to believe any of the polls. Historically they are crap. All I know is I’m voting for Trump and will never vote for Cruz if he is the GOP nominee. IMO he’s not a Natural Born Citizen.

“All I know is I’m voting for Trump and will never vote for Cruz if he is the GOP nominee. IMO he’s not a Natural Born Citizen.”

I won’t get into the NBC debate. I REFUSE to vote for an anchor baby (Rubio) or a Cuban born on FOREIGN SOIL.

His parents had a hard time deciding if they were aligned with England, Cuba, Canada, USA.....

Sorry, the WSJ jumped the shark about ten days ago.

They have no more credibility with me. Done.

Same result on head-to-head matchups as another poll just released. Trump hits a hard ceiling around 40%. I have to believe the candidates will cut a deal to go head-to-head after March 15th. Either Rubio or Kasich will be V.P. and then either Rubio as Sec. of State or Kasich as something else.

The Trumpsters need to stock up on tissues before the tears start pouring.

"But the Journal/NBC News poll suggests that if the race ever becomes a one-on-one match between Trump and one of his three Republican rivals, his opponent would have the advantage. In hypothetical head-to-head matchups, Cruz and Kasich both lead Trump, 57% to 40%. Rubio also beats the Republican front-runner, but by a slightly narrower margin of 56% to 43%."
