Poll: GOP voters divided as April primaries loom
Source: CBS News
Ted Cruz has the lead in Wisconsin as its primary nears, up 43 percent to 37 percent over Donald Trump in an electorate that plays to Cruz's strengths, where Republicans are apt to call themselves "very" conservative and Cruz seems poised to take advantage.

In Trump's home state of New York, however, Trump has a dominant lead over the field, 52 percent to 21 percent for Cruz and 20 percent for Kasich. The billionaire leads by wide margins as best to handle multiple issues including terrorism, bringing back jobs, and the ability to defeat Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.
And in Pennsylvania, coming up at the end of April, Trump also enjoys a strong lead at 47 percent while Cruz and Kasich are well back at 29 percent and 22 percent respectively.

There isn't a lot of evidence that Donald Trump's most recent controversies have hurt him, at least in terms of costing him supporters, though it may be limiting his ability to convert new supporters. Donald Trump's own supporters -- as well as a large majority of all voters in these states -- feel that Trump can sometimes go too far in the things he says. They are voting for him anyway. And a majority of voters, albeit a smaller one, feels the same about Ted Cruz in these states.

The RNC convention is going to be ugly as the RNC leadership jockeys to ignore the top two candidates Trump/Cruz in order to handpick either Romney or Kasich.
