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.

That’s good to know. A data point is a data point as far as I am concerned. When it comes to polling, I am more than capable of detaching myself from my candidate of choosing to look at the situation realistically.

Assuming that we treat the poll like an internal, you are looking at a single-digit race in either direction.

This poll isn't even included on RCP right now. Probably because a poll from something called "Basswood Research" for a blog site doesn't quite pass the smell test.

I'll wait for a real pollster to confirm or deny Emerson College's 1-point Cruz lead in Wisconsin.

Cruz’s globalist wife inserted herself into this race by talking about how they’re running.

My hunch is Trump knew about the impending sex scandal and is letting it unfold.

Understood. Frankly, most of us aren’t DC denizens nor financially hooked to that debacle. We just have to keep our wits about us and sift through the BS and the real fact that represents what affects us in a real way.

Notice this is a Supermarket tabloid that often well souced breaking news.

Why give it more relevance than it deserves?

The above story was no more true or relevant than this non expose on Ted Cruz.

Well one woman of these alleged five, Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson, has come forward and said the story is nonsense.

I have yet to hear what the “evidence” is for this story.

About -40. Cruz will get crushed in Trump's home state. Only question is whether he or Kay-sick can steal a delegate or two from a Congressional District or two if Trump ends up <50% in each of those districts.

The MSM was saving this information in case Cruz got the nomination. If this story is true, the Lyin’ – hypocritical – phony – wolf in sheep’s clothing - Ted Cruz Calgary values are on full display:

Are these stories true? Don’t know. But the National Enquirer exposed these people:

John Edwards: Affair
Jesse Jackson: Love child
Bill Clinton: Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monika Lewinsky, ect.
Gary Hart: Affair
Tiger Woods: Affair

NATIONAL ENQUIRER won’t publish photos of people if it’s not true. People can sue the publication for defamation. But NE wouldn’t run without confidence, evidence.

They did get the John Edwards story right, amongst other things. It is what it is, to be taken with a grain of salt.

In a couple of weeks I have a strange feeling things are going to heat up for Teddy and not in a good way.

Trump pretty well took care of that when he went after Cruz’s wife. Trump made it PERSONAL.

You are just like the typical liberal in that you are over playing your hand. cruz used nude photos of Trumps wife in a TV ad in Utah, people have really not been informed of that yet. Once they are it will only reinforce the perception that cruz is a sleazy snake. It will make all that much easier to believe cruz has been cheating on his wife and was only feigning outrage for the TV cameras.
