“Jeb Bush has lost popularity and credibility”.

It was an argument for a more moderate and principled, if also untenable, approach.
Republican: Trump at 43 percent, with 29 percent for Sen. Kasich recently campaigned in our area at Villanova University. Donald Trump now needs to win 53 percent of the remaining delegates, Sen.
The newspaper says the moves could be crucial if Trump fails to reach the delegate threshold to claim the GOP nomination on the convention’s first ballot “because committees dominated by Cruz supporters could work to block him from winning enough delegates to claim the nomination on any subsequent ballots”.
While Trump publicly dismisses talk of a battle in Cleveland, he is quietly assembling a team of seasoned operatives to manage a contested convention.
There are steep divides on each of these questions by gender, race and education, with women, non-whites and those with college degrees more apt to choose Clinton in each positive statement tested, but little of the age gap that defined the presidential elections that brought Barack Obama to the presidency and is now prevalent in the Democratic nomination fight.

He also called the rumors “garbage” and “complete and utter lies”, Fox News reports. Among those voters, Mr. Kasich got 17 percent and Mr. Trump got 14 percent. About 4-in-10 respondents to this poll are 65 or older, and just 8 percent are in the 18-34 year-old demographic, which may have tilted the scales in Clinton’s favor.
In an average of four out of five polls since last May, Clinton beats Trump outright.
While reaction to Trump’s post – along with his assertion that he had “nothing to do with” the Enquirer article – was mixed, a recurring desire even among his supporters was an end to the personal attacks that have helped define this primary election.

Of course, whether head-to-head matchup polls in general this far out from November are even meaningful has not been completely settled.
