Shock: Ted Cruz Takes Lead in Reuters Poll Over Donald Trump for First Time
by MIKE FLYNN5 Apr 2016
For the first time in the Republican primary, Reuters tracking poll shows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% leading Donald Trump among likely voters in the Republican primaries.
This is also the first time Donald Trump hasnt led the tracking poll in 2016.
Cruz has the support of 39 percent of likely Republican voters nationwide, just ahead of Donald Trump, who has 37 percent support. Ohio Governor John Kasich is a distant third, with 23 percent support.
In the broader survey of all Republicans, rather than likely voters, Trump still has a four-point lead. This, however, is sharply down from the 28-point lead he enjoyed in the middle of March.
Trumps current support among Republican likely voters is the lowest since the end of February, when Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)78% and Ben Carson were still in the race. Since the race narrowed to three remaining candidates, Trump has enjoyed the support of almost half of Republican voters, or 45 percent.
Trumps collapse in the Reuters tracking poll began on March 26, when the GOP frontrunner topped out at 48 percent support. Since then, Trump has lost 13 points of support. He gained two points back in todays tracking poll.
The Reuters tracking poll is based on a five-day rolling average of results. Each day, a new round of daily interviews are added to the tracking poll, while older interviews are dropped from the tracking poll. As a result, there can be daily blips in the poll. The overall trend, however, is unmistakable. Trump has lost a considerable amount of support in the past two weeks and Cruzs support has surged.

63# Wisconsin rules!
Cruz brought the cheese, Drumpf brought the whine. ;)
Yes just like the arg poll showing trump was going to win WI by 10 points. How did that turn out? Trump is finally imploding. He’ll still win NY... They are pretty dumb liberals up there. But he won’t win by as much as expected.
I don’t know what Ted deserves I just don’t want him for President.
And trump can’t even beat him in WI!! How lame.
“He was clear on substance and sounded gracious and presidential. Now hes beating trump nationally.”
Yes, Ted Cruz is a classy guy.
I’ll be proud to vote for him in NY. Another NY woman told my husband that six people will be voting for Ted Cruz in her household.
‘Our long nightmare comes to an end.”
Come back in two weeks Rodeo Clown
“Even though the est hates Cruz”,
Yeah fancis, that’s why the establishment has spent millions to Only attack Trump
The States coming up are winner take all. Stuff it...
The fruits of paying off Walker’s debt.
Yup. You can hear it in the cruzniparty voices tonight, chanting “Go Uniparty Go!”
Why do you think they want Cruz to win???
Spend a week screwing up every interview and your numbers will go down.
It may just help a little bit if Trumpkins do their research a little bit before making fools of themselves.

From Champion of the People to Champion of the GOPe as only a spoiler can do.
Backed by Walker, the first and most pathetic dropout and endorsed by a GOPE State that also likes Socialists. Hell of a resume.
Ok do the math. Not all states are WTA. Actually most are NOT WTA they are Winner take some and then congressional district split (like WI). NJ is a big WTA state that Trump gets, but go do the math yourself—I did and I was extra generous to Trump. Trump at best got 1210 delegates. And that is giving him the WTA states that he has even a remote chance at winning.
Now he could get some unbound delegates to vote for him in 1st round and then seal the deal. But if he doesn’t he won’t be the nominee in the end. Trump needs to focus on the delegates selection process—otherwise he might as well quit because he won’t win unless he beats Cruz in the delegate selection game.
Ted sCruz is the hidden mole of our rulers. He is a fake conservative, just look at who in the GOPe support him.
But you know all of that I’m sure.

You are either truly demented, or you are a troll plant here.
Cruz is dedicated to the defeat of Globalism in any form.

Soros gave $250,000 to Cruz? Source?
$250,000 is enough that it would have to go through a PAC. Which PAC?
Let’s presume Soros didn’t donate in his own name. Which organization did he donate through?
If Ted sCruz other women gets the nomination it will indicate that God has turned his back on America.
Ted sCruz is a false idol erected by the ruling elites to fool Christians in to supporting him.
He is being sold as annointed by God, if he was annointed by God he wouldn’t be such a scam artist.
