In the Republican primary race, Donald Trump continues to lead the field by 16 points with 46 percent support among Republicans and Republican-leaners, with Sen. Ted Cruz up two points from last week with 30 percent support and Gov. John Kasich trailing behind with 16 percent support, down 2 points from last week.
hen looking at this question by candidate support, only about half of Cruz supporters and half of Trump supporters said they would vote for the other GOP candidate in a general election should the Democratic candidate be Hillary Clinton.
In a theoretical November contest wherein Clinton and Trump were the candidates, 56 percent of Cruz supporters would vote for Trump and a quarter would vote for a third party candidate.

“When looking at this question by candidate support, only about half of Cruz supporters and half of Trump supporters said they would vote for the other GOP candidate in a general election should the Democratic candidate be Hillary Clinton.”
Does anyone think Hillary (or Sanders) would be a better President than Cruz or Trump? People need to swallow their stupid pride and ensure that neither Hillary or Bernie is elected even if that means voting for either Cruz or Trump.
You’re right, of course. But I’m waiting for the “you’re a Cruzlim!” and “you’re a Trumbot” accusations to start flying in.
Not exactly the “Hillary Stomps the Yard” screed we were being fed yesterday.
But wait! Ted Cruz TOLD ME he can beat Hillary....even without those STUPID LOW INFORMATION Trump voters.
“You’re right, of course. But I’m waiting for the “you’re a Cruzlim!” and “you’re a Trumbot” accusations to start flying in.”
That’s exactly the kind of name-calling that needs to stop. Sooner or later, a nominee will be picked. The more the name-calling, the higher the animosity between their supporters which only makes beating the democrat even more difficult.
Perhaps if the candidates focused their name-calling and other attacks on the democrats, then the democrat negatives and the positive ratings for the republicans would both go up. Isn’t that what we want?
