Bush has name recognition, and press coverage is positive. Trump is irresistible to the press.
I like Cruz, alot. But my impact on poll data can't even be measured, it's so insignificant.
“But the question was “why isn’t he polling better,” implied in that is “now.”
Polls are taken by phone calls. The person answering may not yet know much about the candidates so the person doesn’t choose or chooses a name he/she has heard. There have been phone calls to our phone to answer political questions and we hang up, don’t do it.
If 5,000 show up to hear Cruz and a phone poll is taken in that area, they may not phone any of those 5,000.
In another election cycle, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson, each, were at the top of the polls at one time near the beginning, and they crashed.
Trump is up there now, but Bush was up there, too, and there is no way I think Bush will win.
I think the grassroots will be a powerhouse for Cruz after debates start. The debates will start a more likely correct poll than is happening now.
Because people are having their Trumpgasm like they do with every liberal that pretends to be the conservatives friend.
