Free Beacon Poll: Cruz Expands Lead Over Trump in Wisconsin (Cruz 36, Trump 31, Kasich 21)
Washington Free Beacon/Basswood Reasearch ^ | 3/25/2016 | Lachlan Markay

Posted on 03/25/2016 8:42:32 AM PDT by NYRepublican72

Ted Cruz holds a modest lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin two weeks before that state’s winner-take-all Republican primary, according to a new Washington Free Beacon poll.

The Basswood Research survey of 500 likely Republican primary voters, conducted on March 19 and 20, shows the Texas senator leading Trump by 4.8 points, 36.2 to 31.4. Ohio Gov. John Kasich trails with 20.8.

Cruz’s lead expands dramatically in a head-to-head contest with Trump. If Kasich were to drop out before the primary, 47.8 percent of respondents say they would back Cruz, compared to just 36.2 percent for Trump.

Wisconsin is expected to be a crucial contest in the race for the Republican nomination, as Trump looks to expand his lead, Cruz clings to diminishing prospects to unseat him as the frontrunner, and Kasich seeks to consolidate enough support to keep his bid relevant ahead of a potential contested Republican convention.

Confirms the Emerson College poll earlier in the week. I am waiting for Marquette Law School before passing judgement on this. Not sure of the track record of Basswood Research.

What would the poll look like when Cruz drops out next week?

His supporters go to Kasich or Trump?

Cruz is in it now until the convention. Trump pretty well took care of that when he went after Cruz’s wife. Trump made it PERSONAL.

I first read that as Free Bacon.

A poll showing Cruz ahead is pretty good too.

AGAIN! For completeness’ sake and full disclosure, WFB is a FOR PROFIT, PRIVATE online blog whose editor-in-chief is Matthew Continetti, the SON-IN-LAW of BILL KRISTOL. The polling firm that did the poll is a virtual captive company controlled by Club for Growth.

I agree. RCP has Trump ahead 32.5% to Cruz 27.5%. I guess we will see which polls are closer soon.

Cruz is done

Trump did not make it personal, Cruz did and Trump responded

Cruz’s bimbo eruptions are going to put him under

I would be embarrassed to and try to defuse the story. Although she did not actually deny it now did she. Very ambiguous comment that she could retract without lying.

Notice she didn’t deny the allegations. Just called them trash, generally, not specifically to the allegations made.

I guess it gives them something to do. There’s probably a few dozen FR members who actually live in Wisconsin who will see these posts and if they are Trump supporters already, who will just ignore them. So the point is...?
