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.

Colorado and Cruz and his supporters smug, self-righteous, arrogant, “Its the Rules”, “Want some Cheese with the Whine”, Crap, cost Cruz Big Time.
Mebbe it has become the Crux “in the ground” game.
He’ll probably bounce back when he apologizes for hopping on the Michelle Fields bandwagon.
I’m going on the theme of non-exisTED, for being overstaTED.
Now he’s been beraTED.
After months of being inflaTED.
For the many who’ve been subjugaTED.
Cruz is faiding fast-—Donald will reach the number he needs by voting.
“The recent CBS poll shows just the opposite. Who to believe?”
What the F are you talking about? The CBS polls says the same damn thing.
If you comapre the older CBS poll (Trump beating Cruz by a wide margin) with the more recent CBS poll, Trump lost ground. FWIW.
“If you comapre the older CBS poll (Trump beating Cruz by a wide margin) with the more recent CBS poll, Trump lost ground. FWIW.”
BS. If you compare polls in the LAST MONTH, Cruz is tanking.
I take it your post is sarcasm, but a large number of Trump fans here said Kasich staying the race would hurt Trump.
Trump himself put a smokescreen up by saying Kasich should drop out.
It’s directly related to Cruz’s embracing the establishment and using their tactics.

You may have noticed my “FWIW.” I was just pointing at the logic of the counterargument, not defending or endorsing the counterargument.

The Iowa theft and the Colorado victory lap both give credence to the Lyin’ Ted branding. The next 4 contests will reinforce the nosedive.
That can't be true. The MSM and every Trump opponent has been telling us for months that Trump's supporters are nothing but angry old white men.
Wisconsin a high water mark? Actually it was YUGE political mistake.
Wisconsin was a Cruz/media political stunt. It wasn’t indicative of anything. They were hoping to try and create the “appearance” of momentum where none existed.
They made a big play for a state they could win and where Trump wasn’t concentrating. They pulled out all the stops, went all out. Walker, Romney, talk show hosts, and media.
They pulled it off swimmingly, except for one thing... it was a DUD. They won the state, big deal, but they got no momentum, no bounce. In fact it went the other way. It was a disaster.
They tried a political stunt and it flopped. They spent valuable time, political capital, and resources not to win a state, but to jumpstart a lagging, losing campaign. It didn’t work. You can’t get the time and money back that would have been better spent elsewhere.
It’s like spending $50 to win a $2 kewpie doll. Yeah, you won, but was it worth what it cost. Can you afford to keep doing that?
I’m a teacher and my husband is a firefighter. We so badly wanted right to work legislation, but Kasich screwed it up.
I get ya,,,,Thumb up!
