CBS Battleground Polls: Donald Trump Extends Leads, Lack of “Authenticity” Dogging Ted Cruz…
The Concervative Treehouse ^ | 4/17/16 | Sundance

Posted on 04/18/2016 5:45:52 AM PDT by tatown

CBS via YouGov has released a series of battleground polls for New York, Pennsylvania and California (full pdf’s below). Interestingly the polls are not identical questionnaires; instead they appear geographically nuanced, specifically on the Democrat queries.

However, there are some rather interesting trend similarities which are embedding as the campaigns of the three remaining republican candidates take on increased importance:

The electorate has made up their mind. There is only about 3% of the electorate who might change their vote. There will not be any “surging” per se’. Donald Trump’s overall appeal is across all demographics and internal ideologies. Donald Trump wins with women voters, and higher information political consumers. Very Importantly – Trump is seen as most authentic and capable as a political change agent. Trump also leads with Hispanic voters in California, and absolutely crushes the competition with the Asian electorate. The most important issue in all three states (NY, PA, CA) are jobs/economy. And economic voters are overwhelmingly Trump voters. (Trump also leads on the alternative issues – second place: security/terrorism) Conversely, Ted Cruz is seen as the most “inauthentic” candidate in the race.

Lol!

Just happen to check my phone, and was a little puzzled. For a moment I thought auto correct had struck me again!

But it’s all cool. ;-)

Is this guy for or against trump? hard to tell from the board.

Why does he have to be for or against either? He could just be a political commentator with no particular axe to grind.

Cruz is NOT trusTED. Any congress critter who claims to hold our Constitution in SUCH HIGH ESTEEM and yet, knowing he is MOST DEFINITELY NOT ELIGIBLE continually wearing the mask to show his deceit is NOT the man who would EVER get this vote.

Cruz - Take the Canadian Express and get out of the country. Your kind is well known in the states - we’ve seen them before. You will never be an American eligible for this office,(until our Constitution is amended).

Rush is pro Cruz and keeps lifeline open to GOPe ...his buds

But he won’t burn the Trump Bridge cause he knows him and wants access

Plus he always caters to a man with a better private jet than his

Reagan hosted TV and radio shows.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm old enough to remember how Reagan was dismissed in the 70's as nothing more than a 2-bit TV and Movie star. And you'll never guess who was one of the leading proponents of THAT charge back then: a young George Will!

That and his acting career were thrown up time and time again by his detractors as if he had done nothing else.

Yes that is how I remember it, people want to act like everyone supported Reagan and his detractors were few. That is not the truth of how it was.

After the shenanigans in Georgia this weekend a couple of Cruz supporters at a local bepreakfast location said they could no longer vote for him in a General election. They apologized to a local Trump delegate who was screwed at the district level.
