Bad Newz For Cruz
A series of brand new trend polls (three – full pdf’s below) highlight an ongoing discussion/trend. With increased visibility Senator Ted Cruz support decreases.
It would be inaccurate to say Cruz is collapsing, if it were not for multiple polls indicating the same trend line. However, when you have three completely disparate polls, indicating an almost identical retraction, you cannot dismiss the reality.
Fox News and IPSOS Rueters both identify the issue on a national scale, and within the CBS polling of Pennsylvania voters you find the specifics as to why. First, the Fox Trend Poll showing Donald Trump extending his lead over Cruz to 18 points, as Cruz support plummets by 11 points in a month:
(Via Fox News) Donald Trump jumps to an 18-point lead over Ted Cruz this week with record high support for the Republican nomination.
Trump tops Cruz by 45-27 percent among GOP primary voters in a new Fox News national poll on the 2016 election. John Kasich comes in third with 25 percent.
Three weeks ago, the mogul was up by three over Cruz: 41-38 percent, with Kasich at 17 percent (March 20-22, 2016). Forty-five percent is a new high for Trump. The previous high was last month’s 41 percent. (read more)
Full Poll Data:
A similar poll data result is available from IPSOS/Reuters who take their own independent poll and compare the results/data to the trend-line:
Both the Fox Poll and the IPSOS Poll show a remarkable drop in support for candidate Ted Cruz. This peak and valley approach coincides each time Cruz is given increased visibility and the public are able to sense and gauge the candidate’s message.
Absent of media attention Senator Ted Cruz generally sees his support improve. However, as soon as his speeches, appearances and personal presentations are given increased visibility – his support drops. It is a remarkably unique circumstance almost exclusive to Senator Ted Cruz.
Here’s the IPSOS Full Data:
Lastly, and perhaps most damagingly, a CBS Poll of Pennsylvania Voters gives some indications of why voters are turning away from Ted Cruz. In every question Ted Cruz is going in the wrong direction on his trend:
Question #40 Responses are the key:
“Authenticity”
Here’s the full poll result:
Great to see this happening wish it would have happened before Wisconsin. Many wise to the deceptive media that have been so aggressive against Trump looks like it may have all backfired on LYIN TED who is so unlikable add his comments about Trump and Trump supporters can see him slipping further down.

Ted Cruz denied over 1 million voters in Colorado their Constitutional right to vote in elections. These AMERICAN citizens are expected to pay taxes but they cannot vote.
Rafael Eduardo Cruz was a Canadian up to mid 2014. So a ****ing Canadian can deny over 1 million Americans their right to vote? TPP/TPA pushed by Cruz and his wife are setting the stage for the North American Union. They want a Cubana-Canadian-American for the first president of the north american union. Cruz is evil and is a Bush bot.

Agreed. You can literally see Grabgate and the coordinated media attack in these curves:
Grabgate allegedly occurred on 3/8, was reported to police on 3/11, the media attack and response began on 3/13, the police report was officially filed on 3/18, Corey was charged on 3/29, and by 4/13 charges were dropped.
But what’s extremely interesting, and demonstrates what SD is saying, is the sharp inflection RIGHT at the Wisconsin primary, around 4/5. It’s literally a case of GOPe winning the battle and losing the war BECAUSE OF IT. And not only that – it appears that when they did everything in their power (and I mean “everything”) to win those Wisconsin urban certers, to get a numerical victory, they conversely gave the nation to a very close look at Ted Cruz. By that point, Grabgate was already very doubtful, and people were no longer being motivated by it.
It’s amazing. It’s clear from the data that negatives work, but what is fascinating is that the REAL negatives about Lyin’ Ted work with almost no media help (other than showing him on TV), whereas the cooked-up negatives about Trump only work with extreme media effort – and then only for a while.
Note that Son of Mailman is the ultimate beneficiary. THAT is the long game. My prediction for New York is that the “surprising votes from urban centers with shady histories and electronic ballots” will be going to Kasich this time – or should I say “again”. It’s very easy to see what they’re doing by now.
One more point. I am REALLY wary of Michael Medved now, because he was pushing the recent Cruz family interview as “Cruz’s best” and “coming off very human” and otherwise in very flattering terms. Yet as soon as I heard Medved play a clip – filled with the same old preacher-speak, debate-style, snake-oil salesman that we’ve come to know and laugh at – I realized that Medved simply cannot actually believe what he was saying. It was NOT good. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Cruz was being pure Cruz – 100% Grade A snake oil – Professor Chocula and his covered wagon of patent medicine. It was horrible – cringeable.
Medved will say ANYTHING to stop Trump! Worthless!

Your,re absolutely right. Also, Medved is among those listed who may have accepted money from a pro Cruz PAC to actively promote Cruz on the air. Sundance has done a magnificent job unveiling the likes of Mark Levin who clearly “took” $400,000 in payments for his book from a PAC supporting Cruz. In exchange, Levin went berserk in his promoting Cruz on the air. Became vicious and aggressive, much in the Glenn Beck style. What I can’t believe is Rush. I’m disheartened. Rush with no integrity? Say it ain’t so. All of it made me dislike Cruz more than I did before. Maybe that’s it! Maybe they really want Trump and they’re employing reverse psychology. It’s working!

People are waking up to lyin’Ted. How can anyone think it’s ok for a Constitutionalist to proclaim a win in a voter less election like we just seen. I would think he would have been the first one to put a stop to this. He sure would have, if it would have been Trump who win. I would also hope his supporters would be extremely alarmed by this. I mean, do you really want your guy to win if it’s though deception, lies and cheating. We have that now. He is also paying off people to be his delegates. Look, Trump has been leading the polls for 9 months now. He has 10 times bigger rallies then anyone else. He has 7.6M followers on Twitter and 7M on Facebook. That does not count instagram. Cruz on Facebook has 2M Twitter 1m. Trump has won far more states then Cruz has as well. It’s very clear and has been for months who the people want. It’s not Cruz. He was not even a thought the first 4 months into this. Remember him being so nice to Trump. Well, those are the kind of people I have always worried about the most. He quickly stabbed Trump in the back. Letting Trump take everyone else out before he did it. No why in hell would I vote for Lyin”Ted. Never!!! And you all should not either. LIke Trump or not, He is not lying, he is not paying people off to win, he is not kissing ass to get there either, nor has he been cheating. I want the truth and I will always vote for the truth even if I don’t like the guy. If he tells the truth he will have my vote. That’s why I’m voting for Trump. I have looked up everything he says and he has been right. #TrumpAllTheWay

The more I see, hear, and read Cruz in his own words, the more I believe he has a serious personality disorder. So much about him is completely inappropriate in behavior and language. I spent a couple of years training to be a licenses therapist but ultimately decided that occupation was not for me, but I have continued to educate myself on dysfunctional behaviors and I am utterly repelled by Cruz.
On the other hand, from the beginning I saw much to be admired in DJT, starting with his honesty, willingness to listen and learn, and humility. The more I see and hear Trump, the more I appreciate him. Since 2008 I have been praying daily for deliverance of our country from the hands of Satan. It’s not up to me as to how God does that, but I thank Him that He has given us a man like DJT to help our nation. Now I pray daily not only for our nation, but for Trump, that he will be wise and fearless in doing what needs to be done.

It makes me glad this process is taking longer than usual. I was considering voting for Cruz until Iowa made me doubt. The Fox debate that Trump boycotted and then Cruz started mocking DJT solidified the doubt. What really sealed my Trump support was Cruz blaming DJT for protesters in Chicago. If he was who he claimed to be, he would never have allowed what happened to Ben Carson, he would have sided with Trump wrt Fox News, and he would never have blamed the protests on Trump. Everything else has shored up my original doubts that started out as “there’s something not quite right.”

I’ve got to the point that when Cruz comes on the television or radio I turn it off. His appearances are all the same…I have won the past 11 elections against Donald Trump (false, he won delegates at conventions or state GOP meetings that did not hold primaries).
His entire campaign has degraded to him doing nothing but complaining about Trump. Frank Luntz was on Hannity’s radio show the other day after a guest appearance by Cruz. Hannity asked Luntz what he thought of Cruz’s appearance, Luntz replied that Cruz was making a big mistake with his negative attacks on Trump, he said the result would likely be the same as what happened to Rubio (who Luntz worked for).
I have been thinking the same thing for weeks. Cruz is headed for a crushing defeat in the next few weeks.

Then the hits began in earnest and all the pundits, except Savage, took turns against Donald, even encouraging and enabling the very violence they wrongfully accused him of fomenting. His 25 July 15 speech in Phoenix established the ‘talking points’ for every candidate…until his mere presence whittled the pack down as he stood center-stage.

One of the main problems Colorado and any other states that manipulate the delegates where they’re shutting out Trump supporters, is the catastrophic effect it’s going to have on all the statewide races, Federal or state or even city. That’s where the real measure of the fallout will be. And I do believe there will be a fallout. 2008 gave 2010, no reason that the disenfranchisement (even if it was always intended for the primaries and caucuses to be for show) of the voters won’t have a similar reaction of “throw the bums out.”

Meanwhile Cruz has a new strategy:
Cruz is also rhetorically pivoting to the general election, brushing off Trump as a sore loser and a whiner and painting himself as the only candidate in the race who can prevail in a battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. His campaign is also starting to talk about a “center-right coalition” to broaden his appeal. At a meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas last weekend, Cruz — who opposes abortion and same-sex marriage — suggested he could work with those opposed to him on those and other hot-button issues.
“Nobody wants to elect a hectoring scold,” he said. “I am not running here to be pastor in chief, I am running to be commander in chief, which is a very, very different job.”

Yeah he was making such a stupid argument today. He said “fine let’s go by the votes, award delegates according to the votes received, then trump would have to give up more than he gains because he has earned so many extra delegates for coming in first place.” Yes, we could award delegates proportionately to the votes received in every contest, but then we’d have to scrap the requirement to win 1237 delegates, because if a frontrunner is not rewarded extra for winning, probably every single nomination contest would be end in a contested convention. We don’t want a contested convention at all because it disenfranchises the people. So we could scrap 1237 delegate requirement and award the delegates proportionate to the vote received in every contest, most delegates awarded wins, or even better we could scrap these lying conniving traitorous delegates altogether and say whoever gets the most votes is the choice of the party.
Another funny thing, I remember him bashing corey lewandowski something fierce making stupid arguments that were all refuted here (and the prosecuting attorney basically agreed with the refutations that were made here). Today every other show made a big to do about it, but we don’t hear one word on Levin. He has egg all over his face and doesn’t want to remind his listeners about the nonsense he engaged in.
I was tending to think Levin was right in calling for a constitutional convention, but if going back to states selecting senators is anything like states selecting presidential candidates, all that power does is allow the state establishment parties protect wildly unpopular candidates and policies from facing voter wrath and reform! On the negative side it seems candidates that manage to avoid scandals and controversy get perpetually re-elected on name recognition/incumbency. Maybe we can just put in a term limit amendment and avoid the convention, because I don’t trust this guy Levin anymore after the dishonest arguments he is making against Trump and his campaign. Seems like he used to make intelligent arguments but he threw that all out and now makes arguments any 1st year law student would easily knock down. He’s smarter than that, he’s just shilling and it’s pathetic.

Cruz is projecting. He is the scold. He likes to accuse other people of what he and his parents have been doing for decades. Shame on him. I also noticed he did an anti-Trump skit in which he pours himself a stiff drink of whiskey on a leftie talk show. He forgot his evangelical voters and “values” (and all his talk on the awfulness and damage of alcholism) very fast after he got their votes and there are no more major evangelical states for him to preach in. Hypocrite creep.

The real question here is, why has Kasich jumped up by such a large margin? I find that rather bizarre. Yes, Cruz has slipped 11 points, but Trump only gained 3, while Kasich gained 8 points. Why? Kasich has been barely visible in this election. How has he suddenly siphoned support from Cruz so much? And why has that support not gone more to Trump?
Strange poll. I wonder if many of these people realize Kasich has no chance whatsoever.

Not really. Imagine you’re a “Never Trump” type of guy (or gal). You start seeing Cruz’s many episodes of cheating: the multiple possible (“likely?”) affairs; the cheating in Iowa, Maine, Colorado, etc, etc, etc. And your conscience starts to bother you. You’re not a liar, and you don’t like liars lying to you.
…But you’re a ‘Never Trump!’ type of guy (or gal). Who do you have left? Kasich.
My analysis is that the ‘Never Trump’ types are rearranging deck chairs on their sinking ship. They refuse to give in and vote Trump, but they’ve developed a healthy (and correct) dislike of Cruz. So….
And there you have it. Not so strange at all.

Kasich is the go-to guy in Pennsylvania if you don’t like Trump. Cruz is not doing well here at all. Conservatives in Penna. are driven by fiscal and 2nd Amendment issues primarily, not social issues. Except for maybe abortion. Outside of urban areas, PA is very pro-life. Kasich’s Croatian/Czechoslovakian background gives him a slight amount of street cred in the western part of the Commonwealth.
I can’t seem to pin down his ancestral Croatian birthplace. I’m actually wondering if I’m distantly related (mine are from Ogulin). Part of his folks came from “Austria” which is just code for Austria-Hungary. Croatians lived in the Hungarian part. The details are irrelevant, but they help explain some of Kasich’s appeal to certain anti-Trump voters. In short, he’s “folksy.”

Seemingly, it all began with slow leaks: Dr. Carson and Iowa, no traction after NH, all GOPe/RNC /media in opposition to Mr. Trump while media is being mostly positive for Cruz, Mr. Trump’s sweep of the South. Then, Sen. Cruz got some traction with questionable wins. About this time, along comes the possible NE sex scandal, and Mr. Trump’s campaign getting hit with the Michelle Field’s controversy. With the most recent focus on Sen Cruz’s antics in acquiring delegates, enter CO, plus ongoing activities by his campaign in other states, the rocky swaying back and forth of this election cycle seems to be righting itself. Perhaps the electorate is facing the reality of the possibility of a Cruz nomination gained by questionable means. My perception of the two men, Mr. Trump and Sen. Cruz, is that one is willing to work hard for the nomination and the American people, and the other is willing to obtain the nomination for special interests and Wall Street by whatever means are available and necessary. Hopefully, the real Sen. Cruz is being exposed.

The United States of America is a land of laws, and Americans value the rule of law above all. Why, then, has our Congress allowed the president and the executive branch to take on near-dictatorial power? How is it that we have a president who will not enforce some laws and who encourages faceless, nameless bureaucrats to manage public lands as if the millions of acres were owned by agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Energy? In Nevada, the lack of enforcement of immigration laws and the draconian rule of the BLM are damaging the economy, lowering the standard of living and inhibiting natural economic growth. The only way to change these circumstances is to bring to Washington a president who will rein in the federal government and get Congress to do its job. It’s not that we don’t have talented people in D.C. It’s that we have no leadership there.

What’s interesting about this is that both Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton are rumored to be insufferably unlikable on a personal level. People that know them in real life have reported them to be unlikable or downright deplorable.

Instead, his ambition got the best of him and he shot his wad. He was unable to keep the mask on long enough to cover up his sleazy nature and he has no chance of winning office, has blown away any support he had for VP or a Supreme Court position, and will slink back to TX where he will be lucky if he can hold on to his Senate seat.

Chris — it would give us great pleasure to make Australia our 51st state. I know we feel like total fools for allowing Obama to pretty near destroy our country. What do the Aussies think of Americans?

We have great respect for the Americans, and are in ore of what you have achieved in science and civil construction. I love the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge. I love New York and when I’m in the US, I stay with family in PA, just outside Philadelphia. Bucks County, PA.
But, your electoral system is a mess.
Australia has compulsory voting.
The Australian Electoral Commission controls all voting across all states and all parties. The rules are the same for everyone, no matter where you live.
Everyone has to vote and gets a vote. All votes are equal value.
Maybe it is the only thing we can teach you ???

Frustration is like your friends support Cruz and you can’t stand the sight of him…. I have a hole where I bit my lip so many times. I don’t drink but might have to start. All I see around Cruz is a dark cloud dirty tricks and really fanatical people. Trump people are enthusiastic but not like the pure conservatives like Beck and friends. Their logic is pretzel at best and the campaign stinks to high heaven with nasty donors and double speak backstabbers. Not sure why I see that and others don’t. I respect the right of choice but come on we are burning daylight here and wasting time bickering. Cruz is done admit it .. Fields wan’t thrown to the ground. Get real…..

My friend says Cruz is the only true conservative — if that means being a crook and a liar I guess he’s right.

Cruz would have to be looney to believe that he could run for President with something like this out there. I guess this is why Manafort believes that Cruz will do what he always does screw himself. He knew this but lies mean nothing to him. Thank you for this information. This is why I like this site so much. The people who comment are so smart.

Under a Cruz “Christian Sharia” presidency, Viagra would be banned. Unless of course, you produced a marriage certificate and wife certified as child bearing material, who is sworn not to use any birth control.

Which Judge? The Supreme Court already ruled 4 times a natural born citizen was a child born on US soil to two US Citizen. If youre talking about the NJ Judge , he cant overturn supreme court ruling.

why do the unAmerican traitors of the political-media-bureaucrat class love illegals SO MUCH?
Because they want the nation of laws to become a nation of chaos, ruled over by CIA puppets with the national security state behind the scenes.
THAT is why the uniparty exists.

I watched the Republican GALA. Trump was technical and interesting. Cruz is too boring to be President. Congress would fall asleep on Cruz and nothing would get accomplished. Cruz deliverance is horrible and pitiful. Kasich is goofy and wimpy.

Cruz can never win the general election. Even GOP bigwig Alex Castellanos’ has said* that Cruz is the ‘narrowest’ expression of Republican appeal, could only win if he stops campaigning until Christmas, buys a disguise. ‘Nixon without the charm’.
QUOTE:
Neither this convention nor the Republican Party wants Ted Cruz as their nominee for President. Republican regulars suspect that in a general election, he would be Richard Nixon without the charm, Barry Goldwater with diminished powers of attraction. Cruz, they fear, is the narrowest possible expression of the Republican Party’s appeal and would lead the ticket to slaughter. It is a testament to the routine occurrence of the impossible this election that the candidate most party regulars initially feared as the worst possible nominee is now their both their runner-up and Miss Congeniality. If Ted Cruz really wants to win this election, he should buy a disguise and stop campaigning until Christmas. Perhaps Senator Cruz has also figured that out: His lead has grown in Wisconsin as he has ducked FOX’s Sean Hannity offer to give him an hour of free television for 10 straight days.*
