After Palin Endorses Trump he Rises 6 Points, Cruz Falls 6 Points in Reuters Poll
Young Conservatives ^ | 1/22/2016 | John S. Roberts

Posted on 01/22/2016 9:46:40 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

If you haven't yet heard, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin recently endorsed Donald J. Trump for president.

It was shocking to many, since Palin was seen as a Tea Party type of candidate throughout her career. Meaning, why didn't she endorse the staunchest conservative in the race, which is clearly Ted Cruz?

Check out how the Reuters poll has shifted since Palin gave Trump the thumbs up.

Cruz down 6, Trump up 6.

That's a huge swing in just a few days time.

The biggest question however, is how in the world is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush still in the top five in any poll nationwide?

How many people do you know say they're supporting Bush over Trump or Cruz?

Exactly.

I don't know if Sarah Palin is the reason for the 6 point rise in Trump's poll numbers, but she may have caused a bump.

Fluctuations. Also when you go to the website and do registered likely primary voters DT is always lower and Cruz always higher.

that’s pretty sad, because she is a self centered publicity hound, couldnt finish a term, went with Ted to a million Tea Party events, while trump’s money went to those republicans fighting off tea partiers, teased about running for president a million times.

she’s the al sharpton of the right, without the crimes.

To normal, conservative Americans, Beck is RADIOACTIVE. I still can’t believe Cruz and Levin are bringing him on board. I guess it confirms how much New York Hedge Fund Manager Robert Mercer owns Cruz (without Cruz as Pres, Mercer is going to the graybar motel for owing the IRS billions; if his money gets Cruz elected, Mercer skates.)

Ted Cruz started to attack Donald Trump just before the Palin endorsement. Sarah probably added some momentum, but the shift was underway. It will be interesting to see when Trump breaks 50% and how many heads explode. I think it is going to be pandemonium at the Iowa Caucuses. Trump has a Find Your Caucus Application on his website that is awesome!

That’s right! The TRUMP TRANSITION TEAM will be one of the first occupants of the Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave. Cool!

Agree with this.

That is surprising since all of the pundiots said it would have no affect and possibly hurt him. How can this be?

Pray America wakes

The spread is even more dramatic with likely primary voters. Cruz drops only 6 points among all Republicans, but drops 9 with likely primary voters. Trump, meanwhile, is even higher among likely voters, sitting at 44 instead of 40. The upward trajectory of Trump and the downward spiral of Cruz are highly visible on the graphs no matter how you put them. Trump also dominates Cruz in a one on one fight, having about 50 percent of the vote to Cruz's roughly 20, the rest going into the "not vote" category. That graph also shows a big jump for Trump and a big drop for Cruz.

Also...every time a liberal, progressive, socialist or communist (but I repeat myself) drives down Pennsylvania Ave; another head will explode.

Ted Cruz has some real winners behind him.

Meanwhile Ted Cruz is hanging out with Glenn Beck, who cons his audience to buy worthless European coins for double or triple their actual value from Goldline. Levin is apparently a sponsor of Goldline too, or whatever that rat infested “gold” seller is named.

That’s a beautiful building. Not sure if Trump built it, or just renovated it, but it’s still quite beautiful.
