Especially considering Tump's approval rating there, and the likelihood that polls are substantially underestimating a likely large Democratic turnout advantage next year?

Given Trump and Cruz's popularity there, I think that it's getting close to safe to say that Cruz is toast.

He has a lower favorability rating than Trump there.
