Best part — Trump loses head to head by 9, Cruz by 1.
Cruz is only trailing Hillary Clinton by one point in a hypothetical general election matchup, 46% to 45%. In contrast, Trump is trailing both Clinton and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, by the same 9-point margin of 47% to 38% in a potential general election match-up.
That would be great for Cruz if we had a popular presidential election. Our election is by electoral college. Cruz could never win Florida, Virginia or Pennsylvania. That’s game set match Cruz loses. Trump can win those and more.
