A new CNN/ORC national poll (full pdf below) is being highlighted in the media discussion based on the top-line results: Donald Trump 49% !
However, thats not the real headline in the data. The real lead story should be the damage Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have done to themselves as they continue a scorched-earth campaign.
The first signals of a backlash appeared over the weekends polling when it became clear Senator Rubio and Senator Cruz where losing support at an exponential rate the longer they continued to make unfounded accusations. Donald Trump and Ben Carson are benefactors of the Rubio/Cruz kamikaze mission.

Yep - we’re doing a great job of self-immolating before we have a chance to pick someone who can actually win.
Dead cat bounce for the Cubans after the debate.
“Trump seems pretty much invulnerable.”
At this point, ONLY TRUMP could cause Trump damage...he won’t be defeated by people we hate telling us that Trump is a horrible guy.
Perhaps the GOPe should have considered what we think about them before expecting us to BLINDLY support them (George Will comes to mind, especially).
all I know is I early voted ted over a week ago please let’s see reults
The GOP establishment and MSMs coordinated assault on Trump has only made him more popular.
Negative advertising and in your face attacks on the Teflon Don have left his opponents burned.
Trump and nice guy Carson gained support at their expense.
Democrats will discover burying Trump in an avalanche of negative advertising and in your face attacks isnt going to take him down.
Trump seems pretty much invulnerable.

More than anything the world now sees how dishonest and fraudulent the anti Trumpers are.
Limbaugh, Levin,Beck, Hugh Hewitt all on the KKK bandwagon when they know it is not true. Hell I remember when Trump called into Rush’ show one time and donated $100,000 to Rush’ charity.
Then there is the conservative media that is basically a paper tiger with no principles.
The msm we expect this treachery from.
The Republicans have been exposed and the democrats we expected no less from.
Basically in the end media is media conservative or liberal. They are all the same with absolutely no soul or ethics.
Good for TRUMP for burning them all down.
Tricky Ted is once again headed to the losers corner.
They cannot damage Trump when he draws crowds of 32,000 with 26,000 watching on youtube. I watched that rally and Jeff Sessions looked truly star struck when he saw so many people for Trump. He has never had anything remotely close for him. To a politician this is intoxicating.
hey I’m a cruzer I can’t wait to see you when the wall is never built. Ya know Warren Jeff needs some folks like you.
And, Jim Gilmore says, “once again I am snubbed”.
Yeah, reposts have never happened here before his.
Just ask Ted’s crewz.
Good for Sessions, for all he’s done in his life, he CERTAINLY DESERVES IT!
“Cruzbots”
You can’t reason with unreasonable life forms.
Ted Screwed can lead the cruzbots back to Canada to run for prime minister.
I’m with you.
“Hey Im a cruzer I cant wait to see you when the wall is never built.”
Trump was also told by EVERYBODY that there was NO WAY he could build in Manhattan...he father was strictly building in Queens. Manhattan, NO WAY IN HELL...never happen...at least that’s what the Rafael Cruz types in New York told Trump.
You may want to visit Manhattan some day...
Governor Huckabee endorsed Trump?
I agree the wall will NEVER be built.
People simply do not understand the issue
We are talking Cruz’s home state ... Cruz should win Texas walking away ..who cares if Cruz wins his home state , he’s still not getting the nomination ...
Cruz and Beck are a super team. Hell, add Erick Erickson and holdonnow, you got the fixins of a grand slam! We’ll all know Wednesday, won’t we...
