AZ-PPP: Ted Cruz barely ahead

[Tender Branson]

Ted Cruz leads the Republican primary field in the state with 16% to 14% for Rand Paul, 12% for Chris Christie, 11% each for Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush, 8% each for Paul Ryan and Scott Walker, 4% for Marco Rubio, and 2% for Bobby Jindal.

This is the best poll showing we've found for Cruz in a long time- he leads based on his strength with 'very conservative' voters, among whom he gets 22%.

Arizona is one of the most interesting states in the Presidential election.

Just when you think they are becoming Liberal... they are not.

Only 4% for Rubio in one of the strongest latino states, means that Rubio is politically dead right now. He could still wake up from the dead though, that's another story...
