ed Cruz may be gaining on Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in the largest remaining state in the Republican primary.
A new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll of likely Republican voters published on Sunday showed the Texas senator, with 35% support, just 1 point behind Trump's 36% in California.
California is the largest and most delegate-heavy state remaining in the Republican nominating contest. In the poll, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the third GOP candidate, logged a distant third with 14% support.
Other recent polls have mostly shown Trump with a large lead over Cruz and Kasich, and with the primary still over two months away, the polls could easily shift before election day.
Still, even if Trump wins the primary outright, Cruz's strength in California could still pose a problem for the real-estate magnate.
The Times/USC poll is one of the first released since Sen. Marco Rubio dropped out of the race, and could hint that Cruz has a shot at taking a large chunk of the delegates home in California. Thirteen delegates are awarded to the state-wide winner, while the remaining sum are awarded by whichever candidate wins each district.
The Sunday poll also found Cruz's strength concentrated in Los Angeles County and the Central Valley, one of the more rural parts of the state. Some observers further speculated that Kasich could play well in Democratic-heavy coastal areas. Taken together, Cruz and Kasich's support in California could hinder Trump's goal of securing the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination on the first round of voting.
California's primary is on June 7.

< A lot can still happen between now and June 5. If Trump does well in the intervening states, Cruz will be mathematically eliminated from the nomination by the time the CA primary comes around and we will see a different outcome. Nobody will bother wasting votes on Cruz if it is not possible for him to win the nomination.
Well said. Today is only a snapshot in time. Once Cruz is eliminated from contention, there will no longer be reason for people to vote for him.
Right now, all eyes should be on Wisconsin on April 5th. It's a must-win for Cruz if he is to even be a factor on June 7. If Trump beats Cruz solidly in WI, I don't see how Cruz recovers. Trump can survive a WI loss but it will sow seeds of doubt. So in a way, it's a must win for him as well.
I see you’re off your medz. Cruz will never be president. Deal with it.
I will be pope before Saint Rafael Eduardo Cruz of Calgary will ever be president. Deal with it.
Just another psy-ops BS poll. California is in June. Cruz will be a distant memory by then. He will be a fishing guide in British Columbia by then and taking Mark Levin and Glen Stabby The Clown Beck out to catch “the big ones.” BTW when does Cruz disavow Beck? Answer right after he actually looks into a camera and says, “I did not sex-U relations with those women; not one of them.” It’s been used before but what else does he have?
AS FREEPER BEAUTIFUL_GRACIOUS_SKIES POSTED: The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. In Texas, Cruz won only 44% of his home state/s vote.....not enough to get all the delegates. Trump got a chunk of Texas delegates. Team Cruz ferreted out victories in a few caucus states known for oddball and malleable vote counting methods.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.
Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his 8 states.
Virgin Isl 200 people
Wyoming 620 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,00
Okie 158,000
SUMMING UP Ted won 8 states totaling a measly 385,000 votes.
It’s not Trump who is outperforming his poll numbers. It’s Ted Cruz.
“No thanks for the typical mindless, know nothing Trumpbot reply...”
I’ll give that a 2/10.
Thankfully Cruz will so be out of the race so you guys can either get a hobby...or seek professional help.
Trump is winning because he looks and sounds like a smart, rich, outspoken favorite uncle. Cruz looks like and sounds like a sleazy politico-speak lawyer even though he is a smart conservative. It is as simple as that. Cruz nods his head like Hillary where Trump makes funny faces and speaks in a more understandable simple language. Cruz won’t win California.
Smoking? Joe?
what ‘nasty, craven’ attacks?
you mean pointing out that Heidi is a public figure in her own right, with very heavy involvement in the WTO, CFR, NAFTA, North American Accord, and is UN-centric? The diametric opposite of what Cruz says he’s for?
the real ‘nasty, craven’ attack was on Trump’s wife, who is not a public figure and who isn’t involved in politics in any way shape or form
Smoking Joe...you are quickly running out of states in which Cruz can crush Trump. Good luck in Wisconsin. We shall see. But so far, your track record has been, might I say, less than stellar!
Very good description of the living comb-over.
Did #SleazyTrump release a really nasty picture of Heidi Cruz juxtapositioned with the best picture of his wife with the implication that Cruz's wife is ugly or not?
Secondly, when did Heidi Cruz start running for president? I musta missed that.
