Cruz, while remaining a distant second to Trump in presidential preference, is getting criticized – even by Republican voters – for the nature of his campaign, which has been charged with spreading rumors about other candidates, and using unfair tactics.
Cruz tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that “there is no doubt that if Donald steamrolls through Super Tuesday, wins everywhere with big margins, that he may well be unstoppable”.
Florida Sen. Rubio picked up Monday where he left off over the weekend, dogging the GOP front-runner for not disavowing Sunday a white supremacist and the Ku Klux Klan.
The release of the poll comes as the Republican establishment, which dislikes Mr Trump and loathes Mr Cruz, scrambles to find an alternative candidate around which voters and donors can gather.
On the Democratic side, candidate Bernie Sanders tweeted: “America’s first black president can not and will not be succeeded by a hatemonger who refuses to condemn the KKK“.

On the Republican side, Trump has won three straight – the New Hampshire and SC primaries, and the Nevada Republican Caucus – garnering 82 delegates. A voter without identification or who can not be positively identified will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot. He polled 42 percent in Alabama, with Rubio and Cruz behind with 19 percent and 16 percent respectively. According to the most recent polls, Trump appears poised to win in the majority of Super Tuesday states, with Senator Ted Cruz showing a 9 point lead in his home state of Texas, and a slight edge over Trump in Arkansas. Rough 53 percent of the GOP’s 595 delegates on Tuesday are in those states. “No one’s gonna get that on Tuesday, or the following Tuesday”, said Rubio’s campaign manager Terry Sullivan in Houston after the last GOP debate.
