According to Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll: "One good sign for Sen. Cruz in his battle with Trump is that voters view him much more favorably than Trump, meaning that the Texas lawmaker may have a higher potential upside.”
Nationally, Trump is running away with it. A Monmouth University poll has Trump at a stunning 41 percent and Cruz is his closest competitor at 14 percent.
“It has become abundantly clear that Trump is giving his supporters exactly what they want, even if what he says causes the GOP leadership and many Republican voters to cringe,” according to Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, New Jersey.
