Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton hold commanding leads in Pennsylvania, according to a new Fox News Poll.
Trump receives 48 percent among likely GOP primary voters in the Keystone State. That’s more than the combined support for John Kasich and Ted Cruz. Kasich is at 22 percent and Cruz gets 20 percent. Another 11 percent are undecided.
Just over half of men back Trump (53 percent), while the rest split between Kasich (20 percent) and Cruz (19 percent).
Women are a bit less enthusiastic about the front-runner: 42 percent support Trump, 25 percent Kasich and 20 percent Cruz.

Time to put out the smirking Crispy Cruzer.
“It won’t matter. Trump will walk away with PA but delegates will side with whoever Gleason forces them to, the GOPe pick.”
And there in lies the problem. The rules were made by the Republican club and to help them in electing a candidate of their choice. Not necessarily the peoples choice. What we have is a corrupt system for electing a candidate. For me it is Trump or nothing. If it comes to it I will write in Trumps name.
Does Maryland allow cross over voting?
“I don’t believe Cruz could win PA, FL, or OH in a general election.”
Totally Agree! He’s way behind in all those state polls and has no appeal to the white working class dems or indy’s that populate PA, OH.
The race will be decided in those states.
If Cruz is our nominee Hillary will be named President-elect VERY early on election night.
Honestly, I can’t see Cruz getting much more than 220 electoral votes, and probably closer to 200.
“Take the two old parties, Mister,
No difference in them I can see.
But with a Farmer-Labor Party
We could set the people free.”
“I actually think Cruz would win only 5 or 6 states in the general election.”
Too bad he can’t use his “ground game” to win over electoral college votes in the states he loses.
We need to concentrate on defeating Hillary. Everything else is secondary.
You are right ...no way Cruz could pull Michigan , Ohio, or Viginia either
The special word they use is “anointed”. I wish I could say I was anointed by God. Isn’t that what all cult leaders say?
Precisely.
Trump can put some blue states in the discussion and potentially win all three swing states. Cruz cannot even win a swing state; I guarantee it.
Thank you for that bit of positive analysis.
Certainly, the anti-Trumpers do not have those kinds of resources to put into every state, and the stories of Cruz using bait-and-switch tactics with the delegates and committing other under-handed dealings certainly don't help.
So even if 80% of PA voters go for Trump the actual delegates can all vote for Cruz......As far as I have been able to determine, PA delegates COULD vote even for JEB! in the third ballot in collusion with other states. Not sure, this Commonwealth doesn’t tell us.
That site’s numbers aren’t worth caring about prior to a state having any polling, which there isn’t any for Indiana, Washington, Oregon, etc. right now. One poll showing Trump up in Indiana, for example, and the numbers will reverse instantly.
that’s what worries me.
what about he other 58 percent?
what about dems and independent women?
Trump needs to go hard and all out to get those votes.
Unlike some FReepers, his advisors will know that is where he is lacking and will fight hard for that vote, thank goodness.
After that, you need to know which three delegates in each congressional district are bound to each respective candidate.
Few voters do and tend to select the three most familiar names. This is an example of the ballot in our precinct.
I looked over the ballot. Thanks for the link. My question: Are those "three delegates" you referred to actually bound to a candidate, or are they just on record as favoring that candidate?
I've read elsewhere that those PA delegates can vote any way they wish, even on the first ballot. So there seems to be plenty of opportunity for trickery.
Yes, I think you’re write. chuckle.
