A pair of new polls are showing good news for presidential hopeful Ted Cruz.
In a new Fox News poll of 388 likely GOP primary voters, frontrunner Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz are now in a statistical dead heat nationally. The poll shows Trump and Cruz polling at 41%-38% respectively, a slight edge for the real estate mogul, but within the poll's +/- 5 point margin of error. Governor John Kasich is running in third place with 17%.
A second poll, this one from Emerson College, is spelling good news for Ted Cruz in the April 5th, winner-take-all Wisconsin primary and in a hypothetical match-up against Hillary Clinton in the general election. Emerson College reports:
Ted Cruz is not only leading Trump 36% to 35% in the upcoming primary, but Cruz is only trailing Hillary Clinton by one point in a hypothetical general election matchup, 46% to 45%. In contrast, Trump is trailing both Clinton and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, by the same 9-point margin of 47% to 38% in a potential general election match-up.
The Emerson College poll also shows Ohio Governor John Kasich rounds out the GOP field with 19% of the vote.
The news could be an indication that anti-Trump Republicans are beginning to consolidate around the Texas Senator.
An Angry Ted Cruz Calls Donald Trump a “Sniveling Coward” (VIDEO)
Cruz attacked Trump first.
Just saying.
388 phone calls decided an entire population’s thought processes ?
You folks live in a dream that will NEVER come true.
Will he attack the wives of Ilham Aliyev next?

Cruz attacked no one.
“Now we know why Trump has attacked Heidi Cruz; it’s his MO when someone moves ahead of him”
Cruz is not ahead of him...Cruz has zero chance of winning the nomination. Trump is upset over how vile lyin Ted is and how despicable Ted attacked Mrs. Trump.
I don’t believe Trump has attacked Heidi Cruz. Did I miss something?
It’s also Cruz’ MO to accuse Trump of instigating violence, implied Trump had an influence on the Brussels bombing, is supported by Glenn Beck who way back in August said that Trump’s wife engaged in “lesbian porn”. Then the ad featuring Trump’s wife is put out by a woman who is close to Rick Perry and Carly Fiorina, both of whom have endorsed Cruz.
Cruz is the hands down champion of dirty campaigning.
Cruz can’t win the nomination on the first ballot.
So Republicans have to ask themselves which is the best strategy going forward: Unite now behind a candidate who doesn’t do as well in national polling against the Democrats, or stay fractured in the hopes that a better candidate can be nominated at a brokered convention, in spite of the disadvantages that such disunity would bring in the general election?
You’re right!! This is absolute BS and Fox is leading it.
You are full of baloney.
Cruz is everything wrong with American politics, today.
Everything.
Thuis has to be a bad poll, right trump bots
How so?
He sure didn’t!
*wink wink*
