Even before the devastating effects of a thorough beating in New York’s Republican primary crash down on Ted Cruz, his fortunes are waning in California.
Not only is he now trailing by 7 points (39/32) after moving up to a statistical tie with Donald Trump, then fading; but the level of enthusiasm among Cruz supporters is falling rapidly.
A Field Poll conducted in California during January found that enthusiasm levels among Trump’s supporters was at 55%. That level has improved to 58% today.

Dees Eees Ahr Lahnd, Greengo! Ju got to leave!
But don't take all the big buildings and roads and airports and especially de money, cuz dat's what we want...
Trump is going to go down in flames in CA. Half if the Kasich supporters in the polls will vote Cruz when they realize their guy has no shot and nearly all the undecides will Choose Cruz as well.
Nobody who hasn’t already joined Liberal Donnie’s cult of morons is going to be stupid enough to join it now.
If by “spoiler” you mean the Republican nominee and 45th POTUS you are correct.
It is a done deal, when Trump fall short of 1,237, Cruz will be the nominee. All the Kasich, Romney and Ryan chatter is dead.
Trump sure is popular in super-liberal states.
