An Energized Donald Trump Soars Up 15% In Indiana As Ted Cruz Rally Struggles To Draw People
What if you held a presidential rally and nobody came?
After his low turnout in Ft. Wayne on Thursday, Ted Cruz suffered another blow on Friday. The Cruz camp rented an auditorium that could hold a couple thousand people in South Bend, Indiana.
Only a couple hundred people showed up.

Donald Trump holds a 15-point lead over Ted Cruz in the potentially decisive May 3presidential primary race in Indiana, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.
Trump gets support from 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters — followed by Cruz at 34 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent. If that margin in Indiana holds on Tuesday,
Trump would be on a glide path towards obtaining the 1,237 delegates he
needs to win the Republican nomination on a first ballot at the GOP
convention in July.
Donald Trump Terre Haute Indiana Rally
"In
Indiana, Trump is positioned to corral all the [state's 57] delegates,
which will be a big prize toward winning the nomination outright," says
Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public
Opinion. "Clinton and Sanders are more likely to divide the delegate
pool, which will do little to change the narrative on the Democratic
side."
Fifty Eight Percent Disapprove of Cruz-Kasich Alliance
The NBC/WSJ/Marist poll was conducted April 26-28 —
so mostly after Trump's six-consecutive primary victories in Northeast
and Mid-Atlantic states, as well as after Cruz and Kasich announced an
alliance/truce, whereby Kasich wouldn't campaign in Indiana to help Cruz
(in exchange for Cruz not campaigning in Oregon and New Mexico).
But
58 percent of likely Republican primary voters in Indiana say they
disapprove of Cruz and Kasich teaming up to beat Trump in the Hoosier
State, while 34 percent say they approve of the move.
What's
more, only 22 percent consider the Cruz-Kasich alliance a major factor
in deciding their vote, 15 percent say it's a minor factor and 63
percent say it would play no factor at all.

When Kasich is removed from the polled equation, to allow for a head-to-head comparison, Donald Trump beats Ted Cruz 53 / 42.
