Muhlenberg College Poll: Trump 35% Cruz 28% Kasich 27% (Pennsylvania)
Politics PA ^ | April 8, 2016 | Nick Field, Managing Editor

Donald Trump maintains a lead in PA, but his opponents are both within striking distance.

That’s according to the new Muhlenberg College poll, which tested the three GOP candidates.

Trump leads with 35% while Ted Cruz and John Kasich got 28% and 27% respectively. When leaners are included, Trump expands to 37% while Cruz and Kasich score 29% and 28%.

There is quite a disparity in the results when it comes to men and women. 43% of males favor Trump against 29% who want Kasich and 28% who chose Cruz. On the other hand, 31% of females went with Cruz as opposed to the 29% for Trump and 26% for Kasich.

The biggest gap, however, is the education one. High School graduates (57%T/23%C/13%K) and those who had some College or Technical School experience (39%T/27%C/27%K) favored Trump. Meanwhile, Cruz prevails among those with a College degree (37%C/29%T/29%K) and Kasich is far ahead with respondents that achieved a Graduate degree (48%K/33%C/19%T).

Furthermore, while a plurality believe Trump would be the best possible general election candidate against Hillary Clinton, 13% would vote for the Democrat over “The Donald”.

The Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion surveyed 306 likely Republican voters in Pennsylvania from April 1st to April 6th. The margin of error is +/- 6%.

306 in the sample? Plus 6 MOE?

This is complete junk regardless of what the results show. Good for the kids though to get some experience doing this.

Trump destroying Cruz. Time for Cruz to resign in humiliation.

Trump at 37% including cleaners. That is Trump’s number 37%. That’s his average so far.

Undecided voters break for Cruz.

Cruz in the fetal position soiling himself against Trump.

I thought Trump was supposed to be finished after he lost WI.

If my candidate were only leading by 7 and losing with women in a state like this, I would be sweating, not crowing.

As usual, Trump has his 35%, who would vote for him if he shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue. And as usual, the majority of Republican voters, who do not want Trump, are split between the non-Trump alternatives. And so it goes.

If Ted Cruz is within 7 points of Sleazy tRump in a state like Pennsylvania, tRump has plenty of reason to worry. Typically, Cruz overperforms his poll numbers by over 10%.

59%, 88%, 125%... what do they have in common? All 3 are unattainable at this point. Sorry.

All okay! I'm the one who's sorry for you. Stay as strong as can be expected - given your circumstances:

++++++++++++

More than 400,000 Irish people experience depression at any one time (approx 1 in 10 of the population).

The total number of officially recorded suicides in 2007 was 463. It is widely accepted that the real figure may be as high as 600 deaths per year – the difference is due to the number of possible suicides which are recorded as open verdicts or accidental deaths by the Coroner’s Court.

The ratio of male deaths by suicide to female is approx 3:1.

Experts suggest that approx 80% of suicides can be traced back to depression.

Alcohol, loss and depression are considered to be the three main factors which, when combined, can lead to suicide.

1 in 3 of us will be affected by depression at some point in our lives – either directly, or as a family member.

For every one person who experiences the illness directly, as many as five others will be impacted upon (this especially applies to family members, but also includes friends etc).

By Pennsylvania, Cruz will need 120 percent of the delegates to win. He’s a loser but you know that.

That’s hilarious.

I wonder if Hillary could challenge Bernie’s nomination on the fact that he WAS a socialist, and therefore not really qualified for the Democrat ballot.
