Trump Widens Lead in Quinnipiac Poll

He has accused Ted Cruz of lying about his record and gone after Bush by insulting the legacy of his brother, former President George W. Bush. “What you don’t know yet is if the change is going to take place or if it is a momentary “pause” before the numbers snap back into place”, McInturff said in a statement announcing the results. A new CNN/ORC poll released this week had the real-estate mogul on top at 38%, followed by Cruz at 22%, Marco Rubio at 14% and Jeb Bush at 10%.

While polls indicate that Trump has a large lead in SC and other states, the Democratic race remains close. The last time Trump was not in the lead was in a October 29-Nov. He leads that group by 8 points, 31-23, over Cruz.

On Feb. 12, Donald Trump tweeted the following about Ted Cruz: “How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?”

“The electorate will not pick him”, said Mr Obama, because “they recognize that being president is a serious job”.

President Barack Obama had also said that Trump wasn’t the only Republican presidential candidate making troubling comments that have raised concerns overseas.

And a CBS News poll released Thursday showed Trump with a similar national lead. Trump’s advantage in a splintered field is supported by this telling result: “The poll shows that if the primary came down to a head-to-head choice, both Mr. Cruz and Sen”. “It is remarkable that an ad that plays video of Donald Trump speaking on national television is somehow defamation”. She is seen as the candidate better able to handle foreign policy, health care, race relations and the economy by margins of 20 points or more. More than half of likely GOP caucus goers, 56 percent, said he would be the party’s strongest candidate in November, compared with 18 percent who chose Rubio and 16 percent who named Cruz.

On the Democratic side, the poll remained unchanged with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a virtual tie with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who also scored a sizeable victory in New Hampshire. Clinton has long held an edge among African-Americans, who make up about 28 percent of the state’s population, but Sanders is looking to make inroads.

As soon as Ted Cruz took the stage at the CNN town hall, things got ugly.

The NBC News/WSJ pollsters contacted 800 registered voters for the question on the Supreme Court, with a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points, and 400 Republican primary voters for the Republican field, with a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.
