Donald Trump is close to the 50 percent mark among Connecticut likely Republican primary voters, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich tops Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in the race for second place, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Likely Republican primary voters give Trump 48 percent, with 28 percent for Kasich and 19 percent for Cruz. Only 5 percent are undecided, but 25 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind before the April 26 primary. By 59 33 percent, Connecticut Republicans want an outsider for president, rather than someone experienced in politics.
Among those who want an outsider 75 percent back Trump. Connecticut Republicans have gone for outsider candidates such as Linda McMahon and Tom Foley. They continue that trend with Donald Trump, said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, PhD. The conventional wisdom that Sen. Cruz is too conservative for Connecticut looks true, as he comes in a distant third in the Republican primary. Kasich clearly is outpacing Cruz for second, but running well behind Trump

What we have here is a serious lack of CruzVote
Ted Cruz is losing because he is too conservative for the liberal Northeast, but Trump is just fine. As soon as this race moves west, Trumps campaign goes south.
We could be spending the next three months destroying Hillary, but because some lunatic Fringe religious nut fancies himself the ‘Anointed Seventh King’, we will have three more months of the GOPe Cheap Labor express attacking Trump. Thanks Teddy, you piece of s***
Cruz’s campaign is already finished. Trump wins everywhere. Cruz can only win when people don’t vote, party bosses choose delegates, or where crazy religious voters hang out, like Iowa and Utah. Trump won every state in the Old Confederacy, will win every state of the Original 13 colonies, the midwest, southwest, and will win Cali. Ted’s a two trick pony. Love watching the silver tongued Cruz get humiliated.
“As soon as this race moves west, Trumps campaign goes south.”
Trump is 13-18 points ahead in California.
It is by CD. And Trump has not nailed down his delegates yet. In a week and a half we will see if his campaign has gotten any better when he turns in his delegate list.
Cruz is losing because he’s an AH.
You mean west like California where Trumps up 11? Or New Mexico where he’s up 15%
And like I’ve been saying Oregon and Washington state will go just like California for Trump. This thing has been over for awhile now.
Loser Cruz is just trying to “Goldwater” Trump so he can run again in 2020. The 750,000 Texans he insulted today will surely remember in 2018. At this rate 3rd Place Teddy will never make it to 2020.
I think I may have to set up the CT primary election thread the day before the primary.
...for just a moment there I thought you were actually being serious.
Ted Cruz is losing because he is too conservative for the liberal Northeast, but Trump is just fine. As soon as this race moves west, Trumps campaign goes south.
Is Ted Cruz too conservative for the South also? Trump Train went south already. And won every state. Loser Cruz just doesn’t win and that makes him an implausible candidate for the general.
I’d agree with you in spirit I guess. The sparser the population density and the more power the establishment party bosses have, the better Cruz does. Other than that he’s a phenomenal juggernaut. Cruz is losing because no one likes him.
As soon as this race moves west, Trumps campaign goes south.
*****************
Hasn’t Trump already won most of the South?
Impossible and his candidate already lost the CONSERVATIVE SOUTH to that “YANKEE” TRUMP!
You are silly that’s for sure. Trump creamed Cruz in the south. Cruz is a worthless candidate to voters.
