PPP Shows Clinton and TRUMP ahead.

[Mr. Morden]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I'd really like to know what sort of candidate and policies those 7% of voters want.

I'm sure there are still plenty of voters out there with no idea of who Ted Cruz is.  They hear the name Cruz, figure that Hispanic must mean liberal, and respond to the poll accordingly. 

[Mr. Morden]

Candidate — Polling (Favorable-Unfavorable, Net)

Trump — 42% (51-40, 11)
Cruz — 32% (49-39, 10)
Kasich — 22% (44-41, 3)

Clinton — 54% (63-27, 36)
Sanders — 36% (64-21, 43)

More Republicans disapprove of Kasich than Cruz or Trump?

wt actual f

Should be noted that both Fox and Quinnipiac had national polls out last week, which were very different, but both had Cruz with better favorability among Republicans than Trump does:

Fox:
Cruz +26
Trump +14
Kasich +13

Quinnipiac:
Kasich +43
Cruz +36
Trump +30

Either the candidates' favorability is changing rapidly, or one or more of these polls is wrong (or else "favorability" is very sensitive to question wording).
