Poll: Clinton, Trump lead in Maryland (Trump 41; Kasich 31; Cruz 22)
The Washington Post ^ | April 7, 2016 | Fenit Nirappil

Posted on 04/07/2016 5:44:37 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Hillary Clinton has a clear but narrowing lead over Bernie Sanders three weeks before Maryland’s Democratic primary contest, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.

The poll also finds good news for Donald Trump, who has a slight edge among likely Republican voters with Ohio Gov. John Kasich in second place.

On the Republican side, Trump has a slight edge among likely voters, garnering 41 percent of their support compared with Kasich’s 31 percent and 22 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). While the 10-point margin bodes well for Trump, it is not statistically significant given the survey’s sample size of 283 likely Republican voters.

It is a WTA by congressional district. So who was not telling the truth?

I believe Trump will finish with more than 50% in NY and win all 95 delegates. Ted will be run out of town on a rail.

It depends how uniform the swing is. NY is weird, it basically goes from WTA to 2/1 if a candidate fails to get 50% in any CD, so long as the second place finisher gets 20% or more of the vote.

With that said, Cruz showing up in the Bronx (CD 15) is not by accident. There are some CDs there that are heavily Hispanic with very few Republicans.

That bum Kasich seems to be targeting some smaller districts as well. He is in CD 15 (Arthur Avenue) in the Bronx today and some places in Brooklyn.

Trump should do a campaign swing in and around those CDs to counter the munchkins attempting to attrit some of the 95 delegates from Trump.

Cruz is really a non-factor here, polling third behind KAY-SICK and not even getting to the 20% threshold to get delegates if Trump falls below 50% statewide.


Saw Reince Preibus on fox this am. Hemmer asked him a simple question. If you need 8 states, and only one candidate has that then isn’t he the nominee.....

Breibus weasel wording around it.... shows how much in the tank he is for Cruz and hoping they can re rig the rules when it comes to convention time even though he keep saying the delegates will determine that.

The weasel doesn’t think we are smart enough to know its not the total delegates, just the cabal making up the rules committee who would have to start this at the least.

After NY will Cruz take his own advice and drop out.

he said Carson should drop out and even went onto have staffers say he was dropping out to get votes.
He then said Rubio should get out because he has no path to the convention and even had staffers tell Rubio voters Rubio was dropping out.

He said Kasich should drop out because he has no path to the convention.

Will cruz now drop out when he can’t get to the 1237 before the convention?

Course not, it’s al about him and then he talks about coming together.

two weeks ago there were a handful of cruz voters on here saying how cruz will get the 1237 before the convention, wonder where they are now. Oh yea they are on other threads talking about rules and spouting crap again.

he did not even get 50% in his home state either.

Got to love the spin and lies coming from some.
Two weeks ago there wee a handful of cruz voters saying cruz will get 1237 before the convention, LOL.
Just as delusional as cruz himself talking top a bunch of high school kids in their basketball gym who look bored out of their minds.

he came third in FL too and never won a county here.
No one wants him here and it is a cert Clinton wins this state if cruz/establishment bribes enough delegates.

I’;ve started doing the same to certain people.
Yesterday I noticed one who kept on here all day and yet I had never saw them before January. Checked their history and it seems they only come on once last year, once year before and nothing for years before that.

Paid trolls which I am now ignoring .

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this poll. Of all the Northeastern states, I was the most concerned about Maryland. This suggests Cruz is very weak all over the Northeast.

Maryland: a state in which Loser Kasich can actually come in second. Just another reason to leave, eventually.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

With only one win (OH) and I believe only three 2nd place finishes (NH, VT, DC) I’m somewhat skeptical of Kasich going forward. Despite him polling ahead of Cruz in NY, and until the latest poll, PA I’m having trouble envisioning him winning any contests. But lib states like MD, CT, and RI should be right in his wheelhouse. Trump has said that he thinks Kasich takes more votes from him than Cruz in the NE.

PA is very interesting. Latest poll, Trump 39% Cruz 30% Kasich 24%. 17 delegates for the statewide presidential preference winner and 54 directly elected unbound delegates, their own names on the ballot, no candidate names on the ballot. Cruz might do well there.

Trump just can’t seem to break 50% anywhere. Since he will be below 50% looks like a lot of delegates will go to Cruz/Kasich
