Perhaps the most important results of the March 22 Republican primary in Arizona and caucus in Utah were numbers that didn’t appear on your television screen, no matter how late you stayed up for the poll closing times. In Utah, Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz claimed victories.

The poll shows a 54-percent majority favors temporarily banning non-U.S. Muslims from entering the United States. By comparison, 26.9 percent said they supported Cruz and 19.8 percent supported Ohio Governor John Kasich.
While GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump maintains a significant lead in the delegate count, rival Ted Cruz seems to be narrowing the gap nationally.
Even before she formally launched her second White House bid in April, Hillary Clinton was raking in endorsements from prominent national Democrats, locking down the support of a party establishment that was bitterly divided in 2008. “He’s poison.” Murphy has also advised Arizona Sen. John Kasich beats Clinton but in the theoretical match-up but the race could easily go either way once the 11% of respondents who said they are “not sure” make a decision.
“Putin already hopes to divide Europe”, Clinton said. Indeed, a large part of what will likely decide Trump’s and Cruz’s fate in the crucial Wisconsin primary a fortnight from now is whether Wisconsinites realize that a vote for Kasich is a vote for Trump-a point that Mitt Romney effectively made in Utah..
Bush dropped out of the race a month ago.
Hillary Clinton gave a counterterrorism address that in a single moment devastated Donald Trump and revealed what Republicans fear most. Among Democratic voters surveyed, 65 percent said they were satisfied with their choices of candidates, while just 46 percent of Republicans say they were satisfied with the field.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz says he should be the nominee.
A Monmouth University poll also released Wednesday found that 41 percent of Republican voters back Trump, 29 percent support Cruz, 18 percent support Kasich.
In a CNN interview Wednesday, Mr. Cruz called for Mr. Kasich to drop out and suggested he’d find a place in his future administration.
The ISIS attacks in Brussels overshadowed the primaries and caucuses, and candidates sought to frame their campaign in the context in the context of the war on terror. “A lot of those Trump state delegates are Cruz people”. Just 34 percent of adults in the new poll have a positive view of the party, 61 percent negative. Since he earned more than 50 percent of the vote – he got 69 percent – Cruz earned all of Utah’s 40 delegates.
