Based on that chart, it isn’t that Trump’s numbers have increased, it’s that Cruz’s supporters either are choosing not to participate in this poll or are currently unable to do so. Since this skews the results, I may not bother much longer myself. But it won’t be because I have stopped supporting Cruz.
Excellent chart, friend. Thank you!
