Ted Cruz Eats Into Donald Trump’s National Lead
By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Tuesday, March 8, 2016
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is retaining his edge in the 2016 GOP race, but his advantage has dropped from 16 points over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to 9 points in a new national poll.
Mr. Trump had the support of 34 percent of registered Republicans and GOP-leaning independents in the Washington Post-ABC News poll out Tuesday, followed by Mr. Cruz at 25 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 18 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 13 percent.
Mr. Trump also lost a head-to-head match-up to Mr. Cruz by 13 points, 54 percent to 41 percent, and trailed Mr. Rubio by 6 points, 51 percent to 45 percent.
Fifty-one percent said they would be satisfied with Mr. Trump as the GOP nominee, compared to 65 percent who said the same of Mr. Cruz, 62 percent for Mr. Rubio, and 56 percent for Mr. Kasich.

Are we having a quiz?
What states before the end of March does Cruz win. Indiana is April.
If 80% of Freepers are supporting Trump, then Conservatism is deader than a door nail.
I am still dumfounded at the support Trump gets on FR.
Noticed the date as well. Cruz made a fool of himself all week long, only to cap it off with his patent GOPe response to the protesters.
I do not want a Cuban Canadian to lead America. Never!
Wednesday we will have a new front runner.
——Your snake-handler is going down.

I think snake-handler would be those running Ted’s campaign. Ted’s just a snake.
lets see ... cruz lost mi to trump, he will loose fla to trump, he will loose ohio to trump, cruz lost virginia to trump ...
cruz cant beat trump in any swing state that is critical to the national election ...
the national polls are totally worthless ...
Looks like Trump was wrong about Chicago.
No just informing some of the ignorant trumpbot a that this isn’t their private club and a lot of the cruzbots have been here far longer, for example I was here for 12 years before you showed up.
Yep, but I am told cruz can beat Clinton.
The amount of B/S which comes from cruz and the others is laughable
He was in Missouri, no pt Illinois. You have your facts wrong.
Laugh while you can, fool.
“Hell he only just got his state by less than 50%...”
Oily Felito actually achieved a benchmark for feeble:
I seriously doubt the nation can even survive if we don’t win this time.
**************
I share your concerns. This election is crucial, and the stakes are rising everyday.
I have to say, Cruz looks like a very good snake handler.
By attacking Trump, Cruz sided with the thugs.
Not a great idea from Cruz.
Look at that atrophied arm and fist. He should be in his prime.
What a pillar of tofu.
Buy Cruz’s logic , the environment of all these us gun manufacturers is what is causing our gun violence environment to flourish.
He’s talking just like a liberal.
