CBS News poll: Trump maintains commanding lead [2/12-2/16 Trump 35%, Cruz 18%, Rubio 12%]
CBS ^ | 02/18/2016 | Anthony Salvanto

....Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters say they have now made up their minds about whom to vote for, up from 35 percent last month. But Trump's supporters are surer about their choice: Two-thirds of Trump voters now say they have made up their minds. Among those supporting other candidates, the race is more fluid; two-thirds of them may still change their minds.

Trump's support cuts across nearly every demographic group in the Republican electorate. He holds a double digit lead among Republicans and independents, men and women, white evangelicals, and Americans of all income levels. He leads among Republican voters of all age and education levels, but does particularly well among voters without college degrees.

Trump also holds a double digit lead among moderates and those who describe themselves as somewhat conservative, and has a five point lead over Ted Cruz among very conservative Republican voters.

“I hope people who continue to complain like this get the ZOT if Trump wins the nomination.”

Oh, they will. You can count on it.

The only conservative I know that stood up to Obola was my Senator but with all the GOPes not behind, rather against him that didn’t work out so good.
That’s why we need the top spot now.
We do not need a liberal blovinator like Trump

If Trump does win, you’ll be crying like a baby when the wall never goes up I’m sure. Or I’m sure you’ll have some other excuse.

“Trump may very well win the primary.
It will be the very first time I vote Democrat. Yep, the lesser of 2 liberals.”


I submit the Cruz voter. Nonstop posts that Trump is a Democrat, but if he wins the nomination, will vote for an actual Democrat.

“The NBC/WSJ poll shows Trump losing by 15% to Cruz in a head-to-head match-up.”

Oh you poor sweet dear.

“Your postings are always so ridiculously moronic that no thinking person can take you seriously.”

They are indeed. The chronic “Go back to DU” closing is always a nice touch.

Trump is not a Conservative period.

You are not a Conservative, given your comments on this thread.

"I've been saying for weeks that Cruz's best chances are that it become a 2-man race "

The assumption Cruz will get support from those that drop out is tenuous at best. First of all, if one is in favor of Cruz's "style", they are free to support him now. Second, if you look a the Libertarians whose candidate has left, you'll see Trump has gotten the vast majority of that support.

Like the Qunnipiac Poll, to me the single thing that jumps out is this incredible desire to “change Washington” or “change things.” There is no overcoming this by Cruz, Rubio, or any establishment candidate (including the two Dems and even Biden).

Only ONE candidate was not “part of the problem.”

To give you an indication of just how silly you sound. What your saying is you find Hillary or Sanders believable.

Does this mean Team Cruz lied again yesterday with NBC?

Wow, it's full on civil war here at Free Republic!

No, it doesn't mean that. It means that they were excited by a poll that showed their guy doing really well.

TRUMP 2016 I noticed a lot of Democrat Trolls posing as Rhino’s on here, trying to get people against Trump.
That’s because the DNC knows Trump will trounce Hillary or Bernie in the general Election.

And those who played the I won’t vote card if Trump is nominated, well we can thank you when you all trashed Romney and helped elect Obama.

Stay the Course Freepers before the Country is totally ruined.
