TRUMP Hits a New "Ceiling" in CBS/NYTimes Poll [Trump 46%, Cruz 26%, Kasich 20%]
CBS NY Times ^ | March 21, 2016 | By Anthony Salvanto, Fred Backus, Jennifer De Pinto, Sarah Dutton

Where the Race Stands Donald Trump continues to lead his Republican rivals by double digits among Republican primary voters nationally. Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters would like Donald Trump to win the Republican Party's nomination for President, the same percentage as Ted Cruz (26 percent) and John Kasich (20 percent) combined. 4 percent say they would vote for none of these candidates.

Although the percentage that supports each of the three remaining candidates has risen since Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Marco Rubio left the race, Donald Trump has made the most gains. Support for Trump has risen eleven points -- from 35 percent in February to 46 percent now -- while support has risen eight points for Ted Cruz and nine points for John Kasich.

Head to head vs Hillary is a meaningless poll at this point and you know it.

For those of us who follow Trump, this speech was like no other speech we have seen him give.

I hadn't planned to watch any of this, but glad I did and I have to say that Trumps speech was superb.

To those who have been claiming the man has no substance and can't speak...."Thhhhbbbbbb"

Because he isn’t running against her! Wait until he wraps up the nomination and begins to pull the party together. there is no campaign against Hillary yet. Be patient.

“and in the same poll he loses to Hillary by 10”

This is about destroying the GOP as we know it, and in that, the Trump movement is succeeding. Winning the general election isn’t the movement’s main concern.

Pull the party together? Seriously? 53% of women in the country have a negative opinion of him. How does that change. Hillary will spend millions replaying all the sexist stupid remarks he has made.

The thing is I bet 90% of the people already have an opinion of Trump. It ain’t gonna change.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary.

That I agree with. I am almost scared to see the Trump supporters unhinged when Trump loses in a landslide.

I didn't keep track after North Carolina and Florida last week but funny Trump won the women vote in both States

So Cruz must really do bad with women

He won’t win Utah. Best he can hope for is to keep Cruz below 50% so there’s a proportional split. He should win AZ handily. In that case he takes all 58 delegates.

General election polls this far out with several candidates are meaningless. They become more telling as the field winnows to the nominee and they start focusing on each other. Reagan was way behind Carter coming out of the convention which are still months away.
