I’m a Trump supporter, but in fairness, was the question asked as if it was only a Trump/Kasich and/or Trump/Cruz race? If the question was asked with the three of them, I don’t think that conclusion can be made. I don’t doubt Trump wouldn’t lead a head-to-head w/ Cruz, but it might be closer...maybe.
“In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Cruz — with Kasich voters re-allocated to their second choices — the Manhattan real-estate mogul earned 46 percent support, compared with 37 percent for Cruz and 12 percent undecided. While the Texas senator drew slim advantages among tea party supporters, white, born-again evangelicals and those describing themselves as very conservative, Trump drew far greater support from voters who described themselves as somewhat conservative, moderate or liberal, as well as among men, women and those 45 years and older.
With Cruz supporters shifting to their second choices, Trump would have a large lead. Fifty-six percent said they would vote for Trump, with just 25 percent opting for Kasich and 13 percent undecided. More than seven-in-10 (71 percent) of tea party supporters said they would vote for Trump over the Ohio governor, along with strong majorities in every demographic and ideological group, including those describing themselves as moderate or liberal.”
This poll utterly failed to ask the head-to-head question, and is therefore, worth nothing as far as answering that question. It may be irrelevant anyway since it looks like Kasich wants to stick around long enough to make certain that Trump gets his first ballot nomination.
Don’t overthink the results of the poll. In this case it was over before the poll was even taken. For Victory !
Yes, the thread headline is quite misleading.
