He had been in fifth place at 8 percent in the last Fox News poll after having been in third place at 10 percent in Fox's August poll.
As the latest poll shows the Republican presidential contest a neck-and-neck race between two men who have led the contest in recent weeks, a new name has risen to place third.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, now has 10 percent support in a Fox News poll released Tuesday. He had been in fifth place at 8 percent in the last Fox News poll after having been in third place at 10 percent in Fox’s August poll.
The most recent poll showed Donald Trump holding his lead with 24 percent support, while Ben Carson was right behind Trump at 23 percent. No other candidate placed in double digits.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was in fourth at 9 percent. Jeb Bush placed fifth at 8 percent. Carly Fiorina, who received a bump in support after last month’s debate, was tied with former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee at 5 percent. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., had 3 percent support. Other candidates were at 1 percent or less.
Cruz last week said his actions have put distance between him and other members of the Republican pack.
“If you look to the records of all the Republican candidates there’s a big difference between my record and that of everyone else,” Cruz said. “If you ask, who has stood up to Washington? Who’s taken on not just Democrats, but taken on leaders in their own party? Republican leadership, whether was leading the fight to stop Obamacare? Whether it was leading the fight to stop executive amnesty?”
“You know at the last Republican debate in California, every Republican candidate stood up there and said, ‘we need to defund Planned Parenthood.’ But last week, when we had an epic drag down fight in Washington, not one of them showed up,” Cruz said.
Trump wants to let foreign students who graduate, to remain and work here.
There are about 800,000 foreign students in this country on any given years.
‘It’s why I know I would never support such a person.’
You are the reason I would never vote for Cruz. You have lied about me and lied about Trump. If Cruz were a good candidate, you would not have to lie to support him. Also, you can tell a lot about a candidate from the type of support he attracts. The relentless, venomous and factually inaccurate attacks waged against Trump by too many Cruz supporters has turned me off for good.
And to think initially, Cruz was my number one choice.
Things change.
I can’t figure out why everybody is having such a terrible time with the H1-B Visa .. and then I discover that the rule regarding that Visa has been changed.
I firmly believe that Ted associates the H1-B Visa with highly skilled engineers and the like. He’s wanting to import people with highly honed manufacturing skills .. skills that can put America back to work.
Guess I’ll have to discuss with his office to find out the truth .. nobody on FR seems to know it.
Cruz Rising
PING
Cruz is Spanish for CROSS +++++++
I think we have a winner here.
Would the leftists actually say his name once they ‘comprende’ the meaning of the word?
Jindal is a good man-—a solid conservative and a sincere Christian.
They are going to build him up, then they are going to take him down. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
Trump supports bringing in foreign workers as permanent citizens. He just doesn’t use the term “H-1B.”
If you allow a faceless person on an internet forum to turn you away from a conservative candidate to a liberal one, then you're beyond help.
" You have lied about me"
What lies? Be specific.
" and lied about Trump."
Again, what lies? Be specific.
"If Cruz were a good candidate, you would not have to lie to support him. "
Cruz is the most conservative candidate in the race and a solid Constitutionalist. Only a liberal would think he isn't a good candidate.
You support a liberal. That doesn't reflect well on you, does it?
"Also, you can tell a lot about a candidate from the type of support he attracts. The relentless, venomous and factually inaccurate attacks waged against Trump by too many Cruz supporters has turned me off for good."
You're going to need to back that up and prove that Cruz supporters have lied about Trump. Go ahead. Show your work.
And if we're going to get right down in the dirt and brutally honest, I don't think you want to talk about supporters, because some of Trump's are nothing but simple-minded morons.
"And to think initially, Cruz was my number one choice.
Things change."
Yep. There's no accounting for stupidity and liberalism.
But it's never too late to improve.
You are not the reason I switched from Cruz to Trump. Your dishonesty and sheer, ugly hatefulness are, however, the reason I would not even vote for Cruz now if Trump dropped out. I have been repulsed by your posts, and that is putting it mildly.
I documented your lies as you told them. You have but to go back in your posting history to refresh your memory. I will give but one example here. The first time I mentioned that Cruz was my original first choice, you called me a liar. I find that type of behavior disgusting. Yet disgusting is too mild a word. When somebody tells you the truth and you call them a liar, that is revolting.
Bottom line, I finally got sick to death of the nonstop nastiness, name calling, denigration and insults. All your bombast on Cruz’ behalf backfired. That’s just the way it is.
Seems like you’re the one who likes to manipulate the truth.
You told me Cruz was your first choice and then proceeded to trash him.
I did not say you were a liar; I said I didn’t believe you.
So it seems your yapping is pure projection.
I note that you haven’t provided a single shred of proof that Cruz supporters, including myself, lied about Trump.
Nor will you.
There’s another lie: that I’ve trashed Cruz. I never have.
I documented your Trump lies as you told them. It is not my job to repeat everything like a pet parrot. The record is there; if you don’t wish to avail yourself of it, that’s up to you.
I remember your post; it was only a few days ago. But if you can't man up and own it, that's on you.
"I documented your Trump lies as you told them. "
So what were they?
"It is not my job to repeat everything like a pet parrot."
LOL
" The record is there; if you don’t wish to avail yourself of it, that’s up to you."
If "the record is there" in my posting history, why did you have to "document" them all over again?
Hillary Clinton = Witch Beyatch who promotes human sacrifice to satan
‘I remember your post; it was only a few days ago. But if you can’t man up and own it, that’s on you.’
The more you double down on the lie that I trashed Cruz the less respect I have for you and your candidate.
Since you didn't bother to vet your candidate, you have no idea of the truth about the man. You just hopped on the Trump train because he made you feel good...emotionalism over reason.
And when you hear the uncomfortable truth about your Democrat hero, you start shrieking about "lies"...knowing that you can't back up a thing should someone pin you down.
It's just more emotionalism, more hysteria, and more becoming like a Democrat in order to support one.
What a fraud.
Of course you have to deflect. You told a boldfaced lie about me: that I trashed Cruz. Bearing false witness seems a trivial thing to you. Sad.
Is "PIAPS" a secret code or something? MYCTIFU...........(Maybe you could translate it for us).
