Cruz had long thought immigration would be his weapon of choice against Rubio, but the past week showed that flashing back to 2013 immigration debates can cut against Cruz as much as they can help him.
In the remaining seven contested Republican primary elections in the last 44 years (Richard Nixon ran unopposed in 1972), five included an incumbent president or vice president who was running – and historically speaking, primary elections favor incumbents. He’s also posted the largest increase in favorability rating among all adults since September, climbing from 27% favorable in September to 45% now, an 18-point gain.
