For Cruz, the Texas Republican said in an interview with Fox News that he simply wasn’t “interested in signing letters”. The Quinnipiac poll was taken about one year before Election Day 2016. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and former Governor Jeb Bush tied for third place with 10 percent each. That’s compared with Rubio’s seven-point lead here (42% to 35%), Bush’s four-point lead (41%-37%) and Trump’s four-point lead (43% to 39%). No other candidate in the GOP field gets more than 3 percent.

“It’s not his thing”.
In a separate appearance on ABC News’ “Good Morning America”, Trump ripped Rubio, saying, “I’m not a fan”.

Among Democrats, Clinton gets 53-percent, with Senator Bernie Sanders at 35-percent and 9-percent undecided.
Is there a doctor in the house?
That follows a New York Times/CBS News poll from last week, just before the most recent Republican primary debate in which Carson remained largely on the margins, that showed Carson edging ahead of Trump nationally.
