Trump, Clinton Lead In PA, But Challengers Closing In, Poll Says April 06, 2016 FoxNews.com
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton still lead their respective primary packs heading into Pennsylvania’s April 26 contest, but the challengers who’ve dogged the respective Republican and Democrat frontrunners so far continue to nip at their heels in the Keystone State, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll.
Trump leads the Republican primary field with 39 percent in the April 6 poll. The New York businessman has consistently placed first in previous Pennsylvania polling, and the Northeast states have long been expected to be friendly terrain for the New York mogul – certainly more friendly than a state such as Wisconsin, where Trump was drubbed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in Tuesday’s primary.
Cruz sits just nine points behind Trump at 30 percent in the Quinnipiac poll. That’s a huge jump, as Cruz drew only single digits in numerous polls as late as October and only climbed into double digits during the last month.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich takes third with 24 percent, but the Quinnipiac poll also shows Kasich as the lone Republican to top Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., in hypothetical general election matchups. Kasich beats Clinton 51-35 percent and Sanders 46-40 percent. Cruz ties Clinton at 43 percent and loses to Sanders 46-38 percent. Trump loses to both Democrat candidates.

Yet another key state where Trump is getting whooped by Hillary and Bernie. How long before Hillary and Bernie start leading Trump in the solid red states?
Trump is a disaster waiting to happen.
Could Cruz take Pennsylvania? Game-changer.
But you just wait, he will surely come back, if Ted Cruz just drops out. That rascally GOPe puppet.
You think Ted will give Trump a ticket to his imagination?
National polls confirm that Trump is training Hillary by 12% points and Bernie by 17% points. (Check Gallup and IBD/TPP). Trump is viewed negatively by 73% of women who make up 53% of the electorate. Trump, in short, is a Hindenburg waiting to explode should he (God forbid) become the Republican nominee.
If he loses PA, Trump would be advised to suspend his campaign, stop the whining, and help unite behind Cruz, of whom Limbaugh has called the only true and tested conservative in the race and the heir apparent to Reagan’s mantle. Mark Levin thinks likewise.
Why don’t we wait and see Hillary vs. Trump campaign, then decide. Trump will wipe the floor with that lying crook.

“Kasich beats Hillary by 16 points in Pennsylvania so I guess we all better get behind John Kasich because Cruz and Trump are both disasters waiting to happen.”
I will take my chance with Cruz. He is tied with Hillary in a state that hasn’t gone red since 1988. Kasich is Socialist lite.
Have you seen Utah latest?
Trump leads in PA by “just” 9 points, yet according to the same FoxNews people, a 10 point Cruz lead in WI was “the absolute end of Trump”.
Right.
And to think I used to actually think this network WAS “fair and balanced”. Ummmm...sure.
“Have you seen Utah latest?”
Someone just told me Trump is losing to Hillary in Utah? If that’s the case, than Trump supporters are beyond delusional when the say Trump can win the swing states and blue states like NY. He can’t even states that go 60% plus for Republicans everytime!
Dream on.
Looks like a movie poster for a horror film!

The fact that “someone” told you something doesn’t make it fact. A poll doesn’t make it fact. Fox News doesn’t make it fact.
What IS a fact is that Trump hasn’t begun to run against Hillary (or Bernie, for that matter) and won’t until he’s the nominee. Until then, all this “TRUMP CAN’T WIN!” crap should be ignored - after all, it’s being pushed by people who don’t WANT him to win!
Polls consistently suggest otherwise.
If it comes from Fox News you KNOW it's biased against Trump and based on a lie. Pretty much the same with the others in the MSM too.
“Kasich beats Hillary by 16 points in Pennsylvania so I guess we all better get behind John Kasich because Cruz and Trump are both disasters waiting to happen.”
He would be far superior to either democrat.
