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.
Like Trump said, if you listen to Carly’s pitter-patter for more than 2 minutes, you get a headache. Voters have now experienced it for themselves.

I’ve watched Trump-—admittedly, only to a degree and not with the devotion of his fans-—for years. I’ve researched him and read about him, as well.
It’s why I know I would never support such a person.
We may have nailed him to the cross, but it was all of God’s wise plan of redemption of man kind from before the foundations of the world.
That God himself would humble himself stoop down to put on human flesh and live among us.
The Lamb of God who was slain before the foundations of the world.
Once again, here’s the leftwing paid operative, hissing like a vampire when Cruz’s name is mentioned.
Work visas aren’t really a problem. Anyone who comes here has to pay for our cost of living so it can’t depress wages that much. The big problem is unqualified illegals swarming over the border to not work and get on welfare bennies. And if you want to be protectionist, companies sending jobs overseas is surely much more of a threat to our workers than people coming here with work visas. That allows them to reduce their labor costs much more severely.
If there are enough workers that can be brought in here to do a job, why should our laws try to freeze the amount of workers at a low rate and freeze those wages at an artificially high level? The whole purpose of an economy is to produce goods and services at the LOWEST possible cost. The purpose of production is to serve the consumer, not the worker.
On trace he should be marked yellow. He voted for TPP.
After last nights debate she’s the shoe-in for the democrats.
I pulled it from the post I responded to.
You’d have to ask him. I believe he provided some sort of clue in his post.
Here. He did provide a link.
BTW: The link didn’t work the first time I tried it. You may have to try it a few times.

Good news bump. Hopefully it’s a trend and not a statistical anomaly.
That’s CRUZ control!
We shall see...
They must be cooking up something and it ain’t good.
He needs to be more assertive in the next debate to continue the rise I’d say. Stay out of the Trump blast zone (which he has been doing) but more assertion when among his rivals. It’s sadly the only thing (or at least most important thing) our voting public responds to: debate bravado.
This isn’t a Yale debate. It’s a bare knuckle fight.
Yeah? Tell that to some skilled lab technician who lost their job to someone from India on an H1-B visa willing to work for half the wage. There is absolutely no shortage of qualified Americans for such jobs but they are more expensive. Same as with lettuce pickers.
Well, that’s your choice, but it isn’t mine. I doubt the truth of your statement anyway. So, there’s that.
Of course you do.
So when Trump says that he is going to expedite the good ones back in, how many of the 20 million illegals do you think he will let back in, jumping the quota line?
I have no idea since this conversation was about Ted Cruz. And while I like what I hear from Trump more and more I still don't trust him at all.
