Donald Trump holds a 15-point lead in the Republican presidential primary in Indiana, and a majority of GOP voters disapprove of the effort by underdogs Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich to coordinate strategy to block him, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll finds.

I wonder how many caseloads of Cruz/Fiorina shirts are going to get shipped to some third world country after the Convention...

While that poll was released yesterday, it was actually done 2 weeks earlier and only 400 people were included in that poll. Extremely unreliable poll to say the least.

I am inclined to think this poll is legit. Yes the WSJ have been guilty this cycle with bogus polls.

But right now MrMagoo can clearly see that Teddy is toast.

The crazy VP pick when you are allready mathematically eliminaTED.
The enthusiastic endorsement of the sitting Governor of Indiana.
His number one media spokesman going off the deep end with Cheetoes makeup.
His wife letting the truth slip about his own immigration status.

Trump is on a such a roll for the last two weeks that more and more pundits and sitting politicians are starting to.come around.

Believe this is very close to where Trump will end up in Indiana.

I read another article where Cruz has changed the subject to CA.

This confirms to me that Cruz knows he is going to lose Indiana.

I can't believe people are still flogging that discredited poll you linked to that I believe surveyed just 400 voters over a two-week period (much of it before last weeks primary sweep by Trump).

This here WSJ/Marist poll that has Trump 15 points up is a shocker. Usually this poll has understated Trump's true margin. So either the actual margin is much higher or they have decided to stop trying to seed FUD into the Trump campaign.

I agree that the blue collar worker vote will be key Tuesday night. Cruz did great damage to his effort by tapping Carly Fiorina, whose name is synonymous with laying off American workers and outsourcing them abroad.

This is John Cougar Mellencamp country and while I doubt the leftist heartland rocker is a fan of Trump, many of his fans are or soon will be.

More like 3d and twenty, ball mid field, down by 21,it's the 4th quarter with 5 minutes on the clock, but the referees are all paid off.

And the trailing team can only field five players due to injuries.

He is going to solidify his relationship with the Bush family. And they have their mouthpieces out there still trying to stop Trump. Cruz SHOULD say he’s done all he can but...

I’m afraid his hubris, that of his wife and the Bushes - knows no bounds.

Ted is known for getting into fights within his own party, and then his self righteousness takes over. I’m unaware of his making peace with anyone. We will see.

The hammer is dropping on Cruz. He has made a total fool of himself.

Yep, Cruz is too arrogant and insane to drop out.

He is becoming more despised than ever.

This poll says 58% of Indiana Republicans disapprove of the Cruz-Kasich alliance deal.

That agreement sure was a stroke of genius political strategy...

This is an MSNBC/WSJ poll. They have not been trustworthy in the past, and are usually outliers giving Cruz the edge. Are the real results much worse, or did they just decide to run an honest poll?

WSJ is a Murdoch to Morlock paper, good only for wrapping dead fish. They have had many dirty polls.

Cruz will get out when the money runs out.

"I though Indiana was swing state?"

No Indiana is a Jobs State. With their Right to Work, a strong work ethic, and lower tax profile they have certainly stolen plenty of Auto Manufacturing Jobs ( Tier Supplier ) from Michigan and tons from the Socialist Republik of Illinois.

My guess is the good people of Indiana want more Jobs and prosperity...

Cruz is a dying star. A white dwarf heading for a blackhole. That’s physics. It’s inevitable.

His oversized ambition has already led him too far down this path and he will not drop out.

I think you're right. Bernie Sanders is staying in to make a political point. That's obvious from Sanders' speeches, and I can respect that. But Ted Cruz's speeches are not about his vision. They are mostly about attacking Trump, even at this late date.

Cruz is staying in just to pick up a delegate here and there while hoping something completely out-of-the-blue derails Trump.
