HUFFPOLLSTER: Ted Cruz Is Now An Establishment Candidate To Most GOP Voters
Republicans no longer think of Ted Cruz as an outsider. Latinos are eager to take to the polls to vote against Donald Trump in 2016. And Trump supporters don't think Harriet Tubman should be on the the $20 bill. This is HuffPollster for Friday, April 22, 2016.
GOP VOTERS NOW THINK OF TED CRUZ AS ESTABLISHMENT - HuffPollster: "Here’s the latest proof of how strange this primary cycle has become: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who’s long tried to leverage his colleagues’ loathing into a version of outsider cred, is overwhelmingly viewed by his party as an establishment candidate. In a new HuffPost/YouGov survey, 62 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say that Cruz is more of an establishment candidate, while just 29 percent describe him as an outsider. That’s a marked shift since December, when just 36 percent considered him part of the establishment….While that might help Cruz make his case on the floor of a contested convention, it’s unlikely to endear him to his party — 62 percent say they’d prefer a political outsider. In contrast, just 26 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters say the same." [HuffPost]
