The latest Fox News poll shows Donald Trump opening an 18-point lead nationwide over second place Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% . It’s a big jump from three weeks ago, when Fox News showed Trump with a narrow 3-point lead over Cruz, 41-38.
Trump’s gain, according to the poll, is due more to a collapse of support for Cruz rather than a jump in support for the leader.
In this survey, Trump has the backing of 45 percent of Republicans nationwide. Three weeks ago, Trump’s support was 41 percent, a change that is within the poll’s margin of error. Cruz’s support, however, has apparently fallen from 38 percent in late March to just 27 percent today.
Support for John Kasich, meanwhile, has surged 8 points, rising from 17 to 25 percent support. Trump leads within every demographic group, while Cruz and Kasich are tied in all except evangelicals and “very conservative” voters.
Trump’s lead in this Fox poll is the largest he’s recorded in the poll since the middle of December, when he led a much more crowded field by 21 points. Interestingly, he had gained just 6 points of support since then, rising from 39 to 45 percent support. The fluidity in the campaign has been the result of voters moving from one challenger to another.

Trump destroying Cruz.
Cruz is may be winning the “ground game”, but he is now losing the perception game big time. The Lyin’ Ted thing is sinking in and many people are starting to be embarrassed to be associated with him.
Two things. Cruz blew it with the CO thing, and him insisting on having people like Glenn Beck around him is destroying his remaining chances. If he had any.
Colorado killed Cruz.
And now, former Cruz supporters are turning to Kasich.
Dam it, that Trump’s good.....he turned Ted Cruz into Jeb Bush right before our very eyes.

The recent CBS poll shows just the opposite. Who to believe?

No wait, I’ve heard over and over from sCruzers that Lyin’ Ted was surging and Trump was falling in the polls, falling I tell you. They were so sure.....
I’m laughing my butt off.
Ugh. When I said I can’t stand Kasich as my governor, I didn’t mean I want him as my president.
My read of that poll is that Trump still has a substantial lead but only slightly less than the one cited in this post. That’s the opposite? What am I missing?
Wisconsin was his high water mark.
It also exposed how much help Cruz is getting from the Bush/Romney/Graham establishment and it’s turning people off.
So is Cruz.
The rigged CO outcome is the reason is dropping like a rock.
The gap is shrinking. That’s a trend.
It will only get worse for sCruz aka Lyin Ted.
Ted sCruz is a scumbag, last night on national TV he said, “I’m the only one of the remaining 4 that is opposed to the Iran nuke deal”. Big lie.
Lyin’ Ted was at the rally opposing the deal and spoke after Trump.
Lyin’ Ted sCruz not only voted for the Corker bill he was a cosponsor of the bill.
Lyin Ted
Wisconsin was the Cruz high-water mark, New York will be his Waterloo.
REUTERS ROLLING: Catholics
TRUMP 61.0
Kasich 24.0
Cruz 12.0
Cruz wants to be seleTED and not elecTED.
Dam it, that Trump’s good.....he turned Ted Cruz into Jeb Bush right before our very eyes.
