New Roanoke College Poll puts Trump way ahead in Virginia
Donald Trump (38%) holds a commanding lead over his rivals Ted Cruz (15%) and Marco Rubio (13%), with John Kasich (8%) and Ben Carson (8%) trailing the field.
Republicans are mostly divided between being merely dissatisfied with how the federal government is working (47%) and being angry (42%) about how the federal government is working. A significant minority (44%) also feel they have been betrayed by the Republican Party, and more than half (53%) say they prefer a candidate who is outside the political establishment. Those who prefer an outsider are most likely to support Trump (59%), but discontent with the federal government, although ubiquitous among Republicans, makes little difference in Trump’s support.
Those who feel betrayed by the party still favor Trump (41%), but they are the strongest group of Cruz supporters (24%). Rubio fares better among those who prefer a candidate with political experience (29%) and those who want a candidate who can win in November (23%). Still, Trump leads in every group except those who prefer a candidate with political experience, who constitute only 30 percent of Republicans.

Ted Cruz born in Canada to a Cuban- Canadian Father IS NOT ELIGIBLE to become president.
Rafael Edward Cruz and Marco Rubio are NEVER GOING TO BUILD A WALL AND DEPORT ILLEGALS.
