Trump Slides In New National GOP Poll

Politico reports:

Donald Trump’s standing among Republican registered voters nationwide fell slightly in the latest ABC News/Washington Post national poll released Tuesday.

Trump, who earned 34 percent (down 3 points from January), is losing steam to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, up four points from the last survey, conducted in January, to 25 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came next with 18 percent, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich finished last with 13 percent.

Trump falls short against Cruz and Rubio when matched one-on-one, by 13 points and six points, respectively.

As far as a contested convention is concerned, 53 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning independents said they would oppose such an outcome, with 42 percent supporting. Among those not supporting Trump, however, 63 percent said they would like the Cleveland convention to be a contested one, while just 30 percent in that camp would oppose.
