I think this poll’s aim is to discourage Trump who, constantly reveling in his lead in the polls, is perceived to be likely to fold when he gets significantly behind in any of them; ergo, a poll conveniently showing him significantly behind.

The poll also burdens Cruz with unrealistically high expectations.
It’s a ‘two-fer’ for the establishment.

I'm sure that was an objective. Trump isn't buying it.

Absurd. Trump is not going to be put off by a poll, any poll. Neither would Ted Cruz if the polling had the reverse result. Both will carry their cases to the people as they should, and one will have the victory.

Until February first this is all just gutter sniping crap.
