Donald Trump up 4 points over Ted Cruz in Quinnipiac poll
Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Tim Malloy questioned what the findings mean for Trump’s White House run. If you’re undecided, telling the phone person that they’re supporting another candidate is easier, but many of them might, when they show up at the polls, give into their heart’s desire and, in the privacy of the voting booth, pull the lever for Trump instead.

For almost a month now, Jeb Bush has established himself as the leading Donald Trump attacker, convinced that relentlessly criticizing the Republican front-runner’s temperament and rhetoric will draw fresh support. It isn’t why they’re so high.
This was named after Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American who led the polls going into the 1982 election for governor of California, but lost. Not only is Cruz right on his heels, but the reality TV star’s “favorables” are in the figurative gutter.
By comparison, 35% of voters said they would be “embarrassed” if Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, was elected president, compared to 33% of voters who said they would be “proud”. He is simultaneously a bombastic exaggerator as well as the apparent answer to many prayers across the political spectrum; Republicans are probably praying for him to fade while Democrats are probably saying a prayer of thanks for his disruptive influence on Republicans.
61 percent say that he does not share their values.
Usual caveats about polling samples and random chance aside, the simplest explanation for this finding is that college-educated Republicans are exhibiting some degree of social desirability bias: A significant number of them support Trump, but are embarrassed to tell a stranger. Marco Rubio of Florida has 12 percent and Dr. Ben Carson has 10 percent, the poll found. The other GOP candidates fail to have more than 6 percent with 8 percent undecided.
The survey showed Trump winning over third of he electorate. Then, impersonating Clinton’s voice, he continued, “Donald Trump is on video, and ISIS is using him on the video to recruit”.
American voters back Clinton over Trump 47 – 40 percent.
Judging from the rising hostility between ultra-conservative Cruz and smooth-talking Rubio, the warring freshmen Senators see each other as the biggest hurdle en route to toppling the real estate tsar.
I have used the phrase “lesser of evils” but there may be no difference for us this election.

While the poll found that Cruz wouldn’t lose to Clinton, it also found that he would not defeat her. In fact, a Cruz-Clinton match-up would be a tie, according to the poll, 44 percent to 44 percent. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). And though 58% of Republicans who picked a candidate said they might change their mind, 63% who chose Trump said their minds were made up, while only 36% of those who chose Cruz said the same. A month later, support for the outsider quartet had risen to 51 percent, versus 24 percent for the insiders. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has 2 percent, with 6 percent undecided and 41 percent who might change their mind.
