“NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.”

This is the poll that said Cruz was leading Trump going into SC. How did that turn out?

I thinks Dems are crossing over in Ohio. They know how much chaos a Kasich win will create. They don’t want the fun and games to end.

Thomas Sowell had a great column this morning, the main point of which was that if people want to beat the Establishment, the best hope is Ted Cruz.

I know this poll has not been friendly to Trump in the past so I'll take it with a grain of salt.

But as a Trump supporter, I consider OH a must-win for Trump. Stakes have never been higher. If Kasich wins and denies Trump the 66 winner-take-all delegates, it keeps hopes alive for a brokered convention even if Trump takes the other four (and I think Cruz has a good shot at MO.)

If Trump "only" takes FL, NC and IL and loses OH and MO, I will be very disappointed.

I don't know if Trump is running ads in OH to counter all the propaganda being put out there about him but if there is a time for Trump to open up his wallet and go all-out to win a particular state, I think OH is that state.

If Trump wins OH, FL, NC and IL, this race is pretty much over even if Cruz wins MO. If Trump has a clean sweep of all five, he can start focusing on the general as he will then be unstoppable as Rubio and Kasich will be out of the race and Cruz will have too steep of a mountain to climb.

However, if he loses OH, it plants enough of a seed of doubt for many to question his inevitability and the establishment GOP and media will double-down on disrupting his rallies and making it seem to many Americans that Trump is too divisive. I'm not worried about those already supporting Trump but the propaganda campaign may influence a lot of others.

Trump needs a big night Tuesday. The only state he can afford to lose in my opinion is MO.

As for OH, it will all hinge on turnout. Democrats cannot vote in the primary but Independents can. It will be the Independents that can put Trump over the top in OH but they need to come out in big numbers.

Why is Kasich moving up in the polls against Trump in Ohio?

Probably because Ohio Republicans who had planned to vote for Cruz or Rubio have decided to vote for Kasich instead.

The majority of the 67% of Ohio Republicans who are not supporting Donald Trump must be angry with him for attacking their popular Republican governor, and they are therefore likely to coalesce behind him to defeat Trump.

People keep noting how does this guy do 3 events a day?

2 so far today @ airports, he wheels in with his plane, gets off, does the event and jets off to another one.

He saves the travel time to someplace in the city, and all the security and logistics involved.

It probably requires at least 3 Secret-Service teams ( or 2 one rotates ahead after theirs is done ) being their in advance, so he can exit and roll.

Efficient use of time and great logistics, may it be a sneak-peak of his potential administration.

NBC News polls have been ,BY FAR, the farthest off and most biased in this cycle.

They are blatantly PUSH POLLING to drive preset narratives, not polling opinion.

We will find out on Tuesday. Don’t be surprised if the actual votes are contrary to this poll. This is the same polling outfit that had Cruz tied up with Trump in SC.

If Kasick wins Ohio. You can bet everyone who loves Cruz now will drop in like a rock. The media will start saying its a Kasick trump race.

The immediate problem for Donald Trump isn’t that two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of him, it’s that more than two-thirds of Republicans — 70% — have an unfavorable view of him.

According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump is supported by 30% of Republicans.

What’s remarkable is that two months ago the same poll showed him at 33% support.

Which means that after two months of winning primaries and receiving very public gushing endorsements from Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, and Ben Carson, Donald Trump is worse off than he’s been at any time during his campaign.

Donald Trump can’t make America great again if he can’t make his own presidential candidacy great again.

But how is he going to do that? By attacking Ohio’s popular governor? By attacking Ted Cruz, the favorite of the Conservative and Evangelical voters who are critical to winning the White House for Republicans? Or maybe by holding a poorly attended rally in Cleveland where there are virtually no Republican voters, but whose Congressional Representative, Marcia Fudge of the Congressional Black Caucus, used the occasion of his speech to very publicly denounce Donald Trump as a racist?
