SNAPSHOT: The “Authenticity Issue” is now crushing Ted Cruz

PPP has released a new poll from Maryland (full pdf below).  The top-line results are very good for candidate Donald Trump, but the internal results are even better.
Donald Trump is viewed as most favorable and retains increased polling popularity among all voters, winning every demographic, including women voters who rate his favorability (57%)  far above Ted Cruz (33%).  In addition Donald Trump easily beats Cruz and Kasich in head-to-head matchups.

Head To Head:  Trump 54% -vs- Cruz 34%

Key Point – In addition 90% of Trump supporters are solidly committed to his election.  Conversely, 51% of Cruz supporters and 47% of Kasich supporters said they are not committed and willing to change their vote to Donald Trump.

(Via PPP) […]  Trump is by far the most broadly popular candidate among GOP voters in the state with a 57/37 favorability rating compared to 48/35 for Kasich and 33/50 for Cruz. This is a state where even if the field was winnowed to two candidates Trump would still have an advantage- he leads Kasich by 12 points at 53/41 and Cruz by 20 points at 54/34 in head to head match ups.
Another thing that speaks to the indecision among anti-Trump voters is that only 53% of Kasich voters and 49% of Cruz voters say they’re firmly committed to voting for their current candidate of choice, compared to 90% of Trump voters who say they’re definitely with him. If New York’s results tonight give any sort of clarity on the stronger candidate between Cruz and Kasich that could help one of them to gain some momentum in Maryland with so many of their voters willing to shift allegiances.
Trump is winning in most of the different areas of the state with one notable exception- in the Washington suburbs he’s actually back in third place at 24% with Kasich leading the way at 46% and Cruz edging him out for second place at 27%. Trump leads with both men and women, and within every age group. He trails Kasich 48/32 with moderates (Cruz gets 15%) but has double digit leads with both ‘very’ and ‘somewhat’ conservative voters.
