Chuck Todd of MSNBC TV says the Wall Street Journal Poll says on MSNBC TV - that Ted Cruz is now in first place as Donald Trump collapses because of CBS debate..."But it is a dangerous thing to throw a poll away just because you assume it is an outlier. In fact, you may be first to pick up a change or trend.

Ultimately, as Bloomberg says, it will become apparent in time if the poll was an outlier or not."

In the Republican race, Trump, at 38%, tops Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who holds second place with 22%. Behind those two, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio garners 14% support, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is at 10%, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has 6% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 4%.

Trump's lead is bolstered by widespread perceptions of him as the candidate best able to handle the economy, immigration and ISIS, and further, that he has the best chance to win in November and would be most likely to change the way things work in Washington.
