The New York Times / CBS have conducted a new national poll (full pdf below). The results show candidate Donald Trump has gained an additional 11 points in the past 30 days and now leads with 46% support nationally.
74% of those polled refuse to support Ted Cruz and a full 80% of those polled refuse to support John Kasich. When you keep in mind this poll is a selected NYT/CBS release, and when you consider this poll does not include independents, a person can reasonably presume the support for Donald Trump is factually much, much higher.
One of the internal poll results the media will refuse to highlight is how futile the #NeverTrump campaign effort has been. The poll actually shows that more people refuse to ever support Ted Cruz than refuse to support Donald Trump. (see below)
(Via New York Times) The nationwide telephone poll was conducted March 17 to 20 on cellphones and landlines with 1,252 adults, of which 1,058 said they were registered voters, including 362 Republican primary voters and 388 Democratic primary voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for all adults; four points for all voters; six points for Republican primary voters; and six points for Democratic primary voters.

Tonight at 8:00pm the heavy political news day continues with a five candidate Presidential Town Hall hosted by CNN.
The event begins at 8:00pm EST and is scheduled through 11:00pm.
Candidates Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump will appear live on CNN. Bernie Sanders is scheduled to appear via satellite feed. All five presidential candidates will be questioned individually by host Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer – it appears most of the Q&A will be interview style.
There is not a publicly available schedule to find out the order of appearance.
The Town Hall event is being broadcast on CNN and CNNi.
(This thread will remain at the top of the page for the duration of the broadcast)
Donald Trump, Raphael “Ted” Cruz, Hillary Clinton and John Kasich will all appear on a live CNN presidential forum next Monday evening. Bernie Sanders will also appear via a remote feed from the campaign trail.
CNN is hosting a three-hour candidate forum with Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer in Washington DC. Each candidate interview will be conducted separately, so they will not be debating each other. All of them, sans Sanders, are in town for the pro-Israel AIPAC conference.
The event appears to be a rather significant ratings victory for CNN because Fox News tried to host a GOP presidential debate but failed miserably due to poor timing overlap with the AIPAC conference and planned speeches. Donald Trump declined the Fox debate due to scheduling conflict with AIPAC and in turn Kasich backed away in response to Trump’s decision.
This forum event by CNN is a rather large poke in the eye to their competitor Fox News.
Despite the John Kasich campaign admitting they did not provide enough signatures to give Kasich legal access to the Pennsylvania primary ballot, the state law only keeps the candidate off the ballot if it is legally challenged.
Previously, team Rubio in Pennsylvania filed such a challenge and Kasich was legally kept off ballot. Today the Rubio allies withdrew their petition (legal challenge).
As a consequence Ohio Governor John Kasich will be allowed on the PA ballot despite not having met the signature threshold for placement.

Sunlight is The Best Disinfectant
Two days ago – two men, actually two professional antagonists, showed up wearing armbands supposedly ‘spoofing‘ Donald Trump with Nazi comparisons. However, things were not as they seemed.
The men who wore armbands touting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump were actually the same pranksters who sported “Settle for Hillary” shirts at a Hillary Clinton event earlier this year.
As reported in The Hill
The men wore armbands with a large “T” on them at a Trump rally in Florida, according to a picture tweeted by a reporter from The Boston Globe.
