A new online poll of 1,165 Republicans in California shows businessman Donald Trump leading Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)41 to 23 percent in the California primary.
The result echoes a recent YouGov/CBS poll that showed Trump leading Cruz by 18 points, 49 to 31. However, the Capitol Weekly/Sextant Strategies poll used an odd methodology: Politico reports that it worked by collecting responses via the Internet from registered Republicans for whom email addresses are included in the California voter file.
(Update: The poll also shows Ohio Gov. John Kasich close behind Cruz, with 21% far higher than other polls.)
The poll, Politico reports, shows Trump winning in almost every corner of the state, from San Diego and Orange County to northern California and the Bay Area, though some regions have small sample sizes. There are, however, a few differences. The poll shows Trump leading Cruz in the Central Valley, 35 to 28, though Cruz has led Trump there in every other poll. It also shows Trump doing best in the Inland Empire, with 49 percent, though other polls show that as Cruzs strongest region.
In addition, the poll shows Trump leading among newly-registered Republicans, winning 53 percent of their support, to 21 percent for Cruz and 15 percent for Kasich, Politico reports. However, another recent poll showed Cruz doing best among first-time voters, nearly doubling Trumps support in that group, 62 to 36.
The California primary, to be held on June 7, will likely prove decisive for both the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations for the first time in decades.

Well, as we know, Cruz underperforms in polls, so maybe he will only lose CA by fifteen points. :-)
That’s what I’m talking about!!!
I think the Trump plane will be pointed to the West Coast many times over the next month.
I’ve been posting for two months that Cruz is not mentioned EVER in CA. Everyone I talk to is supporting Trump.
I’ve heard you, and a lot of others have to...but there are still some if you don’t have ‘Cruz’ they don’t hear anything...just saying....
Tead Cruz’s Race to the Bottom...
In theaters everywhere.
Staring Tead Cruz, Carly Fiorina, the GOPE, the RNC, the complete Leftist conglomerate in the United States, and caucuses near you.
I think Snarly falling off that stage was God telling Teddy the Freak to
GO LICK A LIGHTPOLE
Crying out loud....what’s it gonna take for this misfit Cruz to go home to Calgary?
He has no respect for our system of govt.....or for put-upon American voters having to put up w/ his creepiness.
Just stay out of US politics...that’s all any of us want him to do.
At this point, with the Cruzantic listing 40 degrees and taking on water, I think you could do a poll of just about any adults in California (or elesewhere) and get approximately the same results.
My suggestion: Poll only adults with an eye on either side of their nose.
Here it comes 172 CA delegates for Trump.
If Indiana goes as it appears that it’s going to, Trump’s lead in the remaining states will increase. It’s just human nature to want to pick a winner. I’ll bet that some of the states Cruze has been slated to win ( Montana, Nebraska, Washington) will get better and may even roll over.
Way to be racist against our cyclops bothers, man!
Oh that can’t be. Ted told me was on to fight in California
Well, I am a Trump Supporter. I signed up to volunteer, so I am a full supporter. However, I have to say the Cruz campaign does have an excellent ground game. They have lots and lots of volunteers. I attended the CA GOP convention this weekend and there were lots of people in red shirts and wearing Cruz stuff. Nobody compares to their ground game. The problem for them is that most of the VOTERS like Trump better. I believe in a great ground game. But in this case, it is not going to help Cruz win.
Go Trump
Chris, in this PC world gone mad, you can’t make a point with even the silliest of analogies, without offending someone. Thanks for showing me how callous I have become. Think I’ll enroll myself in one of those sensitivity altering classes.
I like your post!
172 for Trump.
