One poll, does not a reversal make.

First, it ALWAYS starts with "one poll". Beats the heck outta "no polls".

Second, this is not a reversal. Trump's votes are Trump's votes. They are his. He might get some more. We don't know. Cruz' rise has NOT come at the expense of Trump. Some has come at the expense of Carson, some from "and the rest", some from people getting engaged for the first time.

As long as it is Trump vs. Cruz, the Establishment has no options they care for. The Cruz strategists figured on a four "lane" race converging into two lanes: conservative, libertarian, evangelical, establishment. Trump decided to build his own lane. Cruz has the conservative and evangelical lanes and is laying a claim to the libertarian lane. The Establishment lane is turning into an OFF RAMP, making room for the Trump lane merging into a new GOP.

I (sort of) agree with you.

Cruz is not the other competitors. He has a solid base of support among those who are supporting him, as does Donald.

I just think this poll is overstating Cruz’s support. I will agree though, it is more solid than his other competitors.

(how’s that?)
