Donald Trump has extended his support in the 2016 presidential race among Republican primary voters to a record 40 percent as the field has narrowed, but he is still locked in a tight battle with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for dominance, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows. Trump gets the support of 40 percent of Republican primary voters, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gets 35 percent. Ohio Gov.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has pulled into a statistical dead heat with front-runner Donald Trump, a new Reuters/Ipsos national poll showed on Tuesday, as the Texas senator appeared poised to pick up a key victory in Wisconsin's primary. Cruz received 35.2 percent of support to Trump's 39.5 percent, the poll of 568 Republicans taken April 1-5 found. The numbers put the two within the poll's 4.8 percentage-point credibility interval, a measure of accuracy. Cruz and Trump were also briefly in a dead heat on March 28.

Support for all three of the remaining Republican candidates has grown with the narrowing of the field, but Donald Trump still holds a double-digit lead over both his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters finds Trump with 43% support to Senator Ted Cruz’s 28% and Ohio Governor John Kasich’s 21%. Just five percent (5%) of GOP voters like some other candidate, and three percent (3%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

A new national poll from NBC/Wall Street Journal is out and it is more than surprising. Unless this poll has the most bizarre population sample ever chosen, the trends are little short of cataclysmic. Donald Trump leads with 27% of Republican primary voters (plus 4 points since the last poll). Ted Cruz is at 22% (plus 12 points since the last poll and very much in line with the last Iowa poll.). Marco Rubio is third at 15% (plus 4) and Ben Carson is in fourth place with 11%. This is down EIGHTEEN POINTS since the last poll and it,...

A CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday indicates that 28% of Republicans and independents who...

The poll, conducted Dec. 19-30 amog 471 Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters nationwide, finds that Giuliani's support has slipped 13 points over that period, and McCain - who many analysts all but wrote off over the summer - has rebuilt his nationwide base from a low of 16%...
