Ted Cruz has inched ahead of Donald Trump in a new national poll released Wednesday.
The Texas senator has the backing of 28% of Republican voters nationwide, unseating Trump, who won the support of 26% in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. But Cruz's 2-point edge is within the poll's margin of error.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio comes in third with 17% support, followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 11%, Ben Carson at 10% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in last place with 4%.
The results are a major change from last month's NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, when Trump held a 13-point lead over Cruz, 33% to 20%.
The latest survey was conducted by Republican pollster Bill McInturff and Democratic pollster Peter Hart after Saturday's GOP debate in South Carolina....

show me all the polls you want showing cruz beating hillary. I call bullshit.
They lack all COMMON SENSE. Cruz is hated by EVERYONE, except for his most ardent supporters.
In a general election, he loses in a landslide. He won’t get trump, rubio, or jeb supporters. He won’t get crossover from hitlery or bernie. He won’t
get independents or reagan democrats. Cruz is considered a religious nut
which means he loses against anyone the dems put up. If you apply common sense it’s just so obvious.
Unfortuntately cruz supporters either don’t care or are ok seeing bernie
or clinton naming the next 3 SC justices.
“The NBC News/WSJ pollsters contacted 800 registered voters for the question on the Supreme Court, with a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points, and 400 Republican primary voters for the Republican field, with a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.”
Jim, you made me laugh
I hope 2DV took it as the light hearted rub you intended.
Good times.
National polls mean nothing if you cannot win the right states!
Someone should sue.
Theres quite a few cruz supporters who are intent on pushing every other
candidates supporters away. Im watching it happen.......
Little Johnnie told me much the same thing. One day he will copy something new but don’t hold your breath.
And what will happen when Cruz is declared ineligible by the courts after the Democrat party brings suit? It will happen and he will be ruled ineligible. What then? BTW, the Democrats WILL challenge. They will win.
Again....national polls mean nothing if you cannot win the right states!
They are a bit busy right at the moment. Give them a chance to compose themselves.
Calling anyone and everyone liars, and blaming a conspiracy against him. And calling these guys losers, and a near bankrupt company.
Well maybe he won't use the words bankrupt exactly.
I want to believe 8-)
Maybe Trump’s debate disaster had some effect after all.
There was a national PPP shock poll right before NH that basically had Trump, Cruz, Rubio all in the 20s. Made a splash for a day. Then the voting happened.
Even you should see the humor in that sentence. ;^)
For goodness sake...Sanders is beating Hillary.
-— If that is the case, then Cruz should win on Saturday, no? -—
No.
US. SC. Compare/contrast.
and cruz would lose to both of them.
Again, its common sense to me.
So, we get this push poll.
Without Trump in this race, Cruz is 3rd or 4th and fading fast.
It's too transparent.
My hope, more distant than a few weeks ago, is that Cruz stays a decent second or third place heading into the stretch, and that Trump adds him to the ticket or at least to the team in some other capacity. Cruz would be a good influence on Trump, and give conservatives more confidence in supporting him. Trump would be able to appeal to a much broader segment of the population and change the dynamic of the general. They would make a good team. Sadly, Cruz has gotten a little aggressive in his attacks, and Trump has responded like he always does. They may not be able to work together any more.
It is unfortunate, because they truly are the only anti-establishment candidates, the ones who can dismantle the RNC and restore the party to its voters. See my tagline.
