Plus five in a registered voter poll is pretty close to even in likely voters.

Boy Cruz is wretched. All the Bush money men and talk radio shilling still can’t cover his stink.

For the ‘but Trump loses to Hillary in all the polls’ crowd ... I suspect if you project this trajectory into the future ... that complaint begins to fade.

People are catching on to Cruz’s connections with the Bush Dynasty. Funny how Mark Levin, Rush and Beck make no mention of it at all, but these three were leading the cheering section over the demise of Jeb a month ago. I guess it would look bad if they had to mention their boy Ted is joined at the hip with the Bush family and Jeb’s political associates/money men, wouldn’t it?

did anyone actually look at all the pages?

they’re beating us on the gay marriage and women’s rights and healthcare and educations issues, as well as medicare and SS and the environment.

Big leads on environment, f...t marriage and women’s rights. Can’t imagine those will be at the top of people’s agendas, besides feminists and college punks.

we come up big in Iran, Israel, defense, immigration, the economy only plus 2 and Syria.

they will hit us hard with the usual grandma starving in the street and blacks in chains and women barefoot and pregnant nonsense.

we have to go on the offensive this time. not make some stupid 47 percent comment.

this is winnable. Not easy, but definitely winnable

Pretty interesting...Trump closed from -14 to -5 versus Clinton in a week. Cruz remained the same at -8

It'll all come down to turnout.

Rush has been hilarious. Was whining the other day about all the disadvantages Cruz has dealt with. You mean no getting, constant talk radio praise, backing of the GOPe, media not questioning every thing he does, and less rivals in the race?

You mentioned women's issues and health care.

I know that it causes tremendous clashing on FR and in other conservative circles, but Trump's defense of Planned Parenthood for cervical cancer screenings is a big deal among suburban independent women, which we're going to need to carve into in a general election.

I am a conservative man, but I lost my mother to a woman's cancer, and the PP drama did not turn me off Trump one bit.

I think it's easy to take a "principled" stance, but things aren't so clear once you've watched you mother in so much agony she begs you to kill her.

Since it's true confessions time, I'll also add that I offered to obtain pot for her to fight the debilitating sickness from the chemotherapy, because I had heard it helped. She declined, but I would have done it, even though it would have cost me my clearance and my job.

So does this mean I can start a meme that Cruz does worse against Hillary in the polls?

I mean, this really is pointless other than entertainment, because there’s SO much time before the election left and Trump’s only just started opening fire on the SS Cankles.

Poor widdle teddy, he’s losing and he’s goofy looking. Maybe he’s out of favor with God.

What the poll failed to show was the issues they polled which told which party would do the better job, was their importance for the voter. I think if the top issues in the minds of the voter were associated with Republicans, more would vote for the Republican candidate.

Two things we’ve see this year:

Cruz is too conservative for the GOP and Kasich is too liberal for the GOP. Eliminate them and you have found your Goldilocks candidate - Trump.

He’s right in the mainstream of the modern day party. Evey poll coming out since last week’s thrashing of Boobio finds him on top.

Trump is still the prohibitive favorite to clinch the GOP nomination.
