SUSA is still polling.  Here's an example of a poll of theirs that just came out:

Gallup has given up on horserace polling (presumably because they did so poorly last time.  Now they just poll candidate favorability and issues.  No actual horserace matchups.

Gallup not doing horse race numbers this year and Trumpites have been touting that SUSA survey that shows Trump with 25% AA support for about 4 months.

So Rubio is 15 below Trump and Kasich is 9 below Rubio, but Rubio will absolutely be able to beat Trump and Kasich will never be able to beat Rubio?

36% Trump (+5)
21% Rubio (+0)
17% Cruz (-3)
12% Kasich (+6) (!!!)
8% Carson (+3) (!!!)

It's not really clear where Bush support went, since he only registered 4%, but we can be sure it did not go to Rubio.

71% Want to Build A Wall

Trump does well with Republicans (33-21 for Rubio) but does even better among independents (44-19, again Rubio).

[President Johnson]

It's time that TRUMP gets well over 40%.

It's time that TRUMP gets well over 40%.

I think he will cross 40% in Nevada, which will boost his numbers even further.

Kasich is a real spoiler, which is problematic for an establishment candidate winning in the long term, but I sure hope he can work his way past Rubio. He's obviously the better potential president. The trouble is, I don't know if he can afford the time it would take for him to become the establishment choice...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Rubio isn't going to be the answer. It's amazing the establishment can't see that. Putting all their eggs into his basket won't end well for them.

[Maxwell]

btw, if we do magic establishment addition, Rubio loses 33-36 to Trump.

[Mehmentum]

Kasich's surge is really telling considering how much the media and establishment has been pushing for Rubio.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I assumed all of Bush's support would NOT go to Rubio, so this isn't surprising.

Rubio isn't going to be the answer. It's amazing the establishment can't see that. Putting all their eggs into his basket won't end well for them.

Considering they backed Jeb until the bitter end, do you really expect these people to know good judgement?

We really can't be though. He could have lost some of his support while gaining some from Bush.
