HUFFPOLLSTER: Ted Cruz And Bernie Sanders Outperform Expectations In Wisconsin
Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders win the Wisconsin primaries by larger margins than many polls predicted. The results make it less likely Donald Trump can sew up the GOP nomination, but don't change much on the Democratic side. And millennials are driving President Obama’s rising approval ratings. This is HuffPollster for Wednesday, April 6, 2016.
CRUZ TAKES BIGGER-THAN-EXPECTED VICTORY IN WISCONSIN - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) came out on top in Wisconsin's GOP primary on Tuesday, as polls indicated he would. But the margins of victory were much larger than polls had anticipated. Cruz won 48 percent of the vote to Trump's 35 percent. Ohio Gov. John Kasich trailed with only 14 percent. Most polls had estimated Cruz winning by a far smaller margin. Polls from Marquette Law School and Fox News had put Cruz up by 10 points on Trump, but most others showed a much smaller margin. The HuffPost Pollster average showed Cruz leading by 3 points over Trump, a long way from his actual 13-point victory. Kasich had 21 percent support in the average, which overshot his actual vote by 7 points.
