[53%!] Trump breaks 50% in national support for the first time [Cruz 22, Kasich 11, Rubio 10]

In the last two weeks, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has won more delegates in primaries and caucuses, even while his opponents have launched new attacks and questions have been raised about his supporters. The week’s Economist/YouGov Poll finds Trump still at the top of GOP voters’ preference with a wider lead, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio seems most damaged by the two weeks of attacks and counter-attacks.

You may be right. It gets very hard if Kasich wins. He has absolutely no path to the nomination, even if he wins tomorrow. I sincerely doubt that Trump will have 800 after tomorrow. I expect it to be a good day for Cruz in IL, MO, and NC. He has regularly been over performing his poll numbers. He has been surging in IL and OH. It would be a real kicker if he slide in between Trump and Kasich and won OH.

I have lived long enough an even volunteered on some so that there will always be surprises. One think we don't want is a brokered convention. It would be a disaster!

Questions raised about his supporters? Oh, that’s right. The left wing media and the gopE, including Cruz, say Trump supporters are racist bigots and Trump is another Hitler.

Never Trump movement is going to mean that if DT gets nomination it will be from Dem voters in open primaries. Cruz wins most closed primaries.

Rush thinks it is Dem’s Operation Chaos

Rush has been gopE as soon as he was welcomed into the club by old man Bush.

I hope millions turn him off and hopefully he’ll go away. The problem is the radio stations have nothing to replace him with. Or so they think. The need to look for a true conservative host.

I wish someone, maybe Palin could do it since she’s going to be attacked anyway, would say “All those women on Fox in mini skirts and high heels are asking to be raped according to those same people at Fox News.”

Are you going to sing the same song on Wednesday, when they are both out?

You mean Chicago? What “Cincinnati” unrest did Cruz now blame on Trump?

Looks good for Trump, but this poll is definitely an outlier, and I have never heard of this polling organization.

Other most recent polls published on RealClear Politics have Trump at 30% and 34% nationally, polling through 3/6. Cruz is at 27% and 25% in the same polls.

In the end none of these polls mean duck squat, the state-by-state votes do.

Head to head, the latest I have seen (March 6) has Cruz topping Trump 51% to 41% nationally. This matchup will mean more in a few days after the two candidates with no path to the nomination drop out.

Even if Kasich wins Ohio, he still has NO path to the delegates he needs to win.

The money will stop, and Kasich will give up. Wednesday, I predict that Kasich and Rubio both bite the dust.

That’s actually more of a dream than a hope. More likely he wins Florida and North Carolina and maybe Ohio. Cruz will take Illinois and Missouri.

Yet another idiot poll vastly overestimating Trump’s poll numbers?

RCP average
Trump 36
Cruz 21

NBC poll
Trump 30
Cruz 27

www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html

With idiot polls like this, it’s no surprise Ted Cruz won Kansas by a massive 25% despite the polls having Trump winning by 12%.

Kansas is a caucus state, wonder who would have won if it was a by popular vote state?
