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....

New national push-poll is probably more like it.

I call BS on this one. If that is the case, then Cruz should win on Saturday, no?

It would really suck to see him get the nomination. Id like to actually keep either hillary or bernie out of the whitehouse.

Wouldn’t be disappointed, but don’t believe it. Unless Trump fatigue somehow finally set in. I don’t think it has, though.

So you're saying that NBC News and the Wall Street Journal run push polls?

The poll comes from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, not CNN.

They ask registered voters about SCOTUS. It would be more informative if they asked likely GOP voters

In fact he should sweep the South, but my guess is that is a dream. Liberals want Cruz to win so they can attack him in the courts.
