Ted Cruz in Virtual Tie With Donald Trump in New National Poll
ABC News ^ | February 17, 2016 | RYAN STRUYK

Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are about neck and neck atop the GOP presidential field, according to a new NBC/WSJ national poll.

It marks the first national poll without Trump leading since late December and the first time he is not numerically ahead since Nov. 9. It's also Trump's lowest support in a national poll since late November. This poll was taken entirely after Saturday's debate, where Donald Trump took repeated swings at former President George W.

The distorted polls that you endorse are called “Push Polls.”

They are deliberately distorted to sway opinion.

Any honest poll will clearly be an “outlier” to such twisted propaganda. That is a good thing. It enables one to get closer to reality.

but the big money is in the PACs.....to ignore the PACs as a major source of where donor money comes from is simply absurd.

PAC's raise their own money and are not supposed to coordinate with the candidate directly. Campaign contributions solicited or accepted by the campaign directly create more of a link between donor and candidate and can create influence peddling.

and if the numbers don't add up, I'll be more suspicious they aren't accurate.

As they claim they are using FEC #'s. Here's a graphic from them:

And, wow...look at Jeb Bush leading the way on money coming from outside his campaign. Jeb looks to be the real puppet.

Went back and looked at how the PAC's compare against direct funding for Ted Cruz.

Looks like someone is getting around the campaign contribution limits by creating separate entities.

Looks fishy.

LOL!!

'Kinda like' changed their mind, evolved, grew, matured, etc. That 'sorta stuff'?

No, they do not know "THE TRUTH" even though they go to church and claim to be good and live good lives. They need a personal encounter with HIM "THE TRUTH".

Hope and pray it possible for them to find HIM before "that DAY". (caps for emphasis only/cfe)

Take care.........pilgrim

Well, I thought you said that Cruz had donations from people in NY.

This info does not tell me that info at all.

There is a map with a breakdown by state. New York shows $618,000 in donations to Ted Cruz. Need the link?

Don't think I said anything about spending limits...there are donation limits however that allow PAC's to take in more money than donations directly to the campaign.

“New York shows $618,000 in donations to Ted Cruz.”

They would have been smarter to spend their $618,000 leaving New York rather than giving to Ted. They would have saved money in the long run. Lolz

Trump donated to Cruz too. So that logic also proves Trump is a conservative.

there are donation limits however

'Independent-expenditure-only political committees (sometimes called "super PACs") may accept unlimited contributions, including from corporations and labor organizations.' - http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/contrib.shtml
