One poll, does not a reversal make.
One poll.
Granted it is good, but Trump is strong and I think this is over-representing Cruz’s support.
Just my opinion.
Thank goodness!
Prayers up for a Cruz nomination!

The trend is our friend.
Cruz can win. Cruz SHOULD win. Cruz brings everything The Donald brings to the table and more.
Great Birthday news for Senator Cruz!
Rather than squabble amongst ourselves, Cruz and Trump supporters should delight in the demises of Ricky Ricardo and Sleepy, and the slight bump to Don Koharski which helps to tie up Ricky and ShortBus.
Onward through the fog!
When the major polls start showing similiar gains believe them. This Quinnipiac poll is nonsense and has consistently downplayed Trump’s support.

Cruz has been steadily climbing and overtaking Trump in Iowa, and there is some evidence that the Texas senator is managing to perform similarly nationally. But in most polls, Trump’s national lead has stretched to new heights, with some recent surveys showing that more than 40% of Republican voters would support him today.
A Fox News poll taken similarly after the debate showed Trump with 39% support.
Quinnipiac’s national polling has consistently shown lower support for Donald Trump than other national phone polls, and that seems to be the case again in Tuesday’s survey. Their last pre-debate poll showed Trump at 27%, Rubio at 17% and Carson and Cruz both at 16%.
The other story here is that combined Trump and Cruz are getting the votes of half or more of those polled, which means that their messages (which are similar) are resonating, and that it will be a very tough climb for anyone else to come out of this with the nomination.
I can’t ever remember so many sober, reasonable FReepers expending so much energy convincing themselves number two is a better position than number one.
All of Lindsey Graham’s support has now moved to Cruz. That explains the Texas senator’s sharp rise in the polls. </sarcasm>
Will Cruz round up these refugees and send them back? Immigration is the only issue I care about - secure the border and deport all illegals including their kids and families. Until that happens, nothing else matters.
GO, GO, GO!
TED CRUZ 2016
“with a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points”
So Rafael (”Ted”), could be up 4 points on Mr. Trump or down 12 points (in line with other polls).
“Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.”
Outdated survey method usually negative impact to Mr. Trump.
“Among men, for example, Cruz trails Trump 30 percent to 29 percent, while among those with a college degree, he trails 24 percent to 21 percent.”
Before the media claimed Mr. Trump had uneducated supporters, now the polls are saying Rafael is trailing Mr. Trump with college educated voters. Hmmm.
Oh well, either will be significantly better for America than Hillary.
Go Rafael! Go Trump!
Cruz/Trump
The media are doing their best to torpedo the Republican frontrunner.
If Cruz ever passes Trump, they’ll go to work on HIM.
They can’t stand a conservative leader.
Internals: 64% Trump supporters say mind is made up, 63% of Cruz supporters say they can change their minds.
I guess Trump will have to ask him to be veep. (I prefer Cruz....but the Trump juggernaut is unstoppable.....I will go with Trump’s making America great again until that time it is no longer the case)
I *LOVE* that I have 2 excellent candidates to choose from, not a bank of RINOs and losers!
