Since it’s been pretty well establish that Trump is winning some black voters and Reagan Democrats that have voted Dim for years, I wonder if any of the polls are measuring that effect of Trump winning votes that have normally gone to the Dim candidate?
Bottom line RCP average:
Cruz is winning against Hilary.
Trump is losing against Hilary.
Head to head when not really a choice at this time are fairly meaningless. Cruz is only known by 77% of Republicans so he is not known at all (really) with the public at large. His head to head with Clinton is totally meaningless.
