Ted Cruz has been on the road campaigning from Iowa to Georgia and it seems to be paying off as he gained some ground frontrunner Donald Trump.

Trump’s idea of a Muslim ban has US legal experts divided
Maybe they just want to be on his “like” list so they can keep abreast of his latest antics. Trump said he didn’t do it for the polls, so he doesn’t care what the polls say.
Trump has been a constant atop the polls since his ascent to the lead in July, and this new CNN poll marks the first time that Ted Cruz stands significantly apart from the other candidates vying for the nomination.

He is leading Trump by nine points in the latest polls.
Just 23% of voters said they would be proud if Trump were president.
The former Secretary of State leads Sen. Respondents began the survey online, and about one-third continued to answer questions about Trump and other Republican primary candidates online. That consolidation is reflected in voters’ overall preferences.
Since last week’s debate for Republican presidential candidates, several independent polls have shown Donald Trump gaining strength and raising his ceiling to new heights.
According to CNN, the poll reveals Trump’s lead stems from the opinion that he can best handle the economy, illegal immigration and ISIS.
In August, just 38% of Republicans thought that they would have a “better chance” of winning the presidency in 2016 if Trump was the nominee. Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, and Mike Huckabee all hit that level with John Kasich and Rand Paul each getting 2 percent, Lindsey Graham and Rick Santorum each getting 1 percent, and Jim Gilmore and George Pataki both having no support.
Cruz’ strategy of presenting a more sophisticated, better-pedigreed populist conservative iconoclast version of Trump looks like it’s working.
Much of Cruz’s recent success can be attributed to him being able to win over voters seen as Trump’s base – namely Tea Party members, evangelical Christians and those who distrust the so-called “Washington Establishment”. It’s up 22 points since September, at 45 percent, the highest favorability rating of any of the Republican candidates. Trump (+8) and Rubio (+14) posted smaller increases. Nonetheless, 67 percent have also said that Trump actually does not possess the right kind of experience to be the next president of the U.S. And yes, 50 percent of the respondents have said they would feel embarrassed about Trump becoming the president.
Seventy-four per cent of Democrats said they would accept Syrian refugees while 82 per cent of Republicans would not, according to the poll.
Rule number one is that any presidential hopeful or candidate in America would, at least, try to be presidential in the way they speak. Trump’s margin of victory was not almost as wide as past polling has indicated, though. Among those without degrees, 46% back Trump, the same share as in November.

No other candidate got more than 6% support in the poll, which was conducted by telephone from December 16-20. Republicans favor the idea of banning Muslims – 77 percent in Iowa – including evangelical voters who also favor it in the same large numbers – 75 percent.
