In the race for the GOP nomination, the poll finds Sen. Ted Cruz at 23 percent. Other Republicans apparently pose greater threats to the GOP: Cruz and Clinton tie at 44 percent each, and Clinton only beats Rubio 44 percent to 43 percent. According to the poll, 58 percent who named a candidate say they could change their mind.

This is a big move for Cruz – eight points in three weeks for the Q-poll series. The poll also shows Rubio and Carson sinking 5 and 6 points over the last month, respectively. Chris Christie holds 6% and Jeb Bush with 4%. No one else’s support changed even close to the margin of error, and the same 8% still don’t have a candidate preference. He’s doing better than Ben Carson on this question, who has slipped to negative numbers overall, 36/38.

Cruz’s travails in the aftermath of that debate may have been more telling.

Thirty-five percent of those surveyed said they would feel embarrassed by a Clinton presidency, while 33 percent said they would be proud.

61 – 34 percent that he does not share their values. Forty-seven percent of independents say they would be “embarrassed” by Trump, but 44 percent of Republicans say they would be proud of him.
