WMUR Poll: Sanders outperforms Clinton against GOPers in New Hampshire

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment – keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do, what it’s doing is you’re telling conservatives across the country where you stand and who stands with you”, Cruz said last night.

“Cruz will think we need to be more insane and be a long-term nightmare”.

Monmouth asked the same of Trump for comparison, and found that 91% of Republicans said he’s a natural-born citizen, 2% said he’s not and 7% weren’t sure.

But according to Ted Cruz, the tide has turned, and now the same people who spent the last seven months plotting Trump’s downfall are embracing him with open arms. Ted Cruz said Wednesday that the “Washington establishment” he loves to rail against is abandoning Sen.

A Cruz campaign official told NBC News two weeks ago that the campaign meant to reach the point where it could set its sights on Trump.

Property magnate Donald Trump shared a unusual Twitter image on Thursday in order to mock his top primary rival, Sen.

Cruz more than doubled his support, placing second with 14 percent – more than double the six percent he earned in December.

Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio are tied for the third spot with 10 percent each in the new CNN/WMUR Poll.

Despite Cruz’s gains, Trump is still sitting at 34 percent of support in the New Hampshire poll – a 20-point margin over Cruz.

Kari Lord, 52, of Raymond, is an undeclared voter whose attendance at the Cruz town meeting was the first time she’s stopped by a campaign event. Trump supports the mandate.

“I can’t wait to stand on that debate stage next to Hillary Clinton”, Cruz said after taking a handful of questions.

Cruz also claimed that his campaign raised $700,000 after the Branstad anti-endorsement, a sign Cruz said shows true conservatives are uniting behind his campaign.

In a survey of New York City voters released Wednesday, Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director Maurice Carroll sought to redefine the term for Cruz.

The 92-year-old former lawmaker is only the latest establishment Republican to express concern about Cruz’s growing strength in the Republican primary polls, after Iowa Governor Terry Branstad on Tuesday said he hoped that Cruz was defeated.
