The latest poll showing cruz with a doubledigit lead over trump. 40 to 30 . Kasich coming in behind with 21 . Is cruzs lead enough and would this be donalds biggest test yet . Blake berman is live and is getting all exciting behind him, whats the very latest, blake . Hi, there ashley, a couple of things on the poll. Polling here in wisconsin has been few and far between so a lot of folks were looking to that very poll to see exactly how it would change out here. John kasich at 21,some notable things from the poll. That is a 21point jump for ted cruz since the last poll. For donald trump last month, he was leading by 11. Now he is down by 10. Cruz has been on the ground here in the state for days. That could be baring some fruit here in the badger state. This is day two for donald trump in wisconsin. He held an event earlier today just north of us in the pier. Trump said today just like he did yesterday when we were with himself that wisconsin is ever so important in light of that poll, it wasnt available then but certainly worth watching in light of that poll and repeated it over and over again. Take a listen. Winning wisconsin is very important, on april 5th, you have the date, i hope youll understand that this is a very important thing because i have for more delegates than anybody else. Blake so that was trump before the poll came out. As for cruz he campaigned south of us in madison, state capital. Featured his wife heidi and mother elenor. Back here in appleton, ashley, this event is going to get underway in about an hour or so, about a thousand people here. We will see exactly how trump reacts to ted cruz. He went after cruz very hard yesterday, layed off a bit this morning. Lets see if he put it is foot back on the pedal again this afternoon. I will guess, yes, but we shall see. Bernie Sanders Holding aurally a rally in madison. Sanders taking 49 of the vote to clintons 45. It is close but mr. Sanders is slightly ahead. The badger state was one of the earliest roots of the sanders phenomena but can he get delegates to clinch nomination, thats the big question. The latest on what the Sanders Campaign is doing to get a leg up ahead of next week. The campus from wisconsin, take a look at the rally earlier. I tell you the rallies are Pretty Amazing for Bernie Sanders. He really turns out the young people and may well turn out older voters. People like we asked one of the big issues in wisconsin, well, free trade is one of them and in that market polls, democrats that say free trade is a bad yours truly, Bernie Sanders wins that group of voters, 60 to 36 for Hillary Clinton. Bernie sanders said it himself, that is key. Next tuesday there will be a primary election. It is an extremely important primary election. I hope that we break wisconsin turnout history. I hope you come out. Thank you all very much. And lastly, i want to leave you with a picture, ashley, i think you might find amusing, owe talk about protestors in the trump rallies, you know theres occasional protestor at the bernie rally too. Only these are protestors who think Bernie Sanders hasnt gone far enough left. These are people from the Animal Liberation front, people who think Bernie Sanders is not speaking out enough on the ethical treatment of animals. Protestors of all shapes and sizes, why not jeff flock. Thank you so much. We now have two new leaders, the polls have been run before, we know that, hello michigan, for the closer look at the trail that is in the badger state im joined now by jesse, reporter from capital times. Thanks for joining us. What fascinating times we live in specially when it comes to president ial politics. I just wanted to pick up on the latest poll markett university poll, ted cruz is surging ahead, and thats a 20 21 jump for cruz since the last poll was taken. Why do you think that is . Well, ted cruz has had a strong ground game in wisconsin. Earlier on in the race a lot of republican were supporting marco rubio pretty strongly and a lot of the supporters have come around to cruz in the last few weeks. Thats not to say that there were a fair amount of supporters, wisconsin sees itself as the last potential place to put the breaks brake on trump candidacy. Generally endorsements, dont count for a whole lot. How much did walkers endorsement counted for ted cruz . An the markett poll that was taken before walker made endorsement. Among the cruz supporters and Trump Supporters that ive talked. I havent met anyone who has been swayed by it necessarily, but its the question between ted cruz and donald trump. The walker endorsement could push people to trump or push people to cruz depending on what kind of voter you are looking at. Walker approval numbers are going up here. Hes back up to 43 . Hes start to go get a little bit more popular in in the state so he may be bringing people on that side. Lets turn to democrats, as we speak Hillary Clinton is up the street from us and seems to be looking Bernie Sanders in wisconsin. Wisconsin was a strong state for sanders. His numbers here have been a little bit smaller but still very strongly attended. Hillary clinton has been in the state a little bit this week. She did some events in madison, milwaukee, green bay, while Bernie Sanders continues to keep doing that she seems to be focusing on the next sight ahead. Theres still plenty resources here in wisconsin but it does seem in terms of actually having the candidate on the ground trying to make an appeal for voters bernie Sanders Campaign is outdoing her a little bit there. Hes doing outdoing her in the energy department. Hillary doesnt seem to have that. The question is can sanders voters back hillary because he seems shes like to be the presumed nominee. Shes still having a hard time putting Bernie Sanders away, lets be honest, can sanders supporters jump on board with hillary . For the most part i think, yes. You do meet the occasional voter who finds themselves undecided somehow Bernie Sanders and donald trump. At the end of the day a democratic voter is not likely to go to the other side and cast vote for any of the candidates. She does become the nominee as people expect, i think we are going to see most of her support carry over from Bernie Sanders. Fascinating stuff, isnt it . Thank you so much. Capital times, political reporter, thanks for taking the time to talk with us today. Appreciate it. Thank you, ashley. We are waiting for donald trump to come out in appleton, theres the crowd. Over a thousand. We will bring you to that event as soon as it gets underway and we will have much more on the battle of wisconsin. So much to talk about, so little time. Coming up next, we are heading for the New York Stock Exchange to find out whats driving the markets. S p 500 is headed for new highs of the year. How about this, cruise lines heading and profits tripled in the quarter. Royal caribbean higher today. Look at this, cruising just fine. Cruises could be benefiting from people putting off the european vacation after last weeks attacks in brussels. That could be a factor. The very latest update of terrorist investigation in brussels next on countdown ashley lets take a look at this. We have Bernie Sanders to the right and donald trump to the left. Bernie sanders, hes in madison right now talking to his supporters meanwhile up in appleton to the north of there donald trump talking to enthusiastic crowd. Everyone has their phones out recording it, taking pictures. You want to listen in now. Lets listen to donald trump and see what he has to say. We did very well in tennessee. Hes from tennessee and travels all over. Hes actually a good man. I like the phillipines. Do you have seats . We are going to be here a long time. They turned away a lot of people, a lot of people, but now we are having a lot of friends come in. Do you notice how nice and soft and beautiful and do we love wisconsin . We love it. [cheers and applause] hello, folks, back there. We have something thats so special going on and its a movement and wisconsin is very important. Ideally who is going to vote on april 5th . [cheers and applause] who is going to vote for trump on april 5th . Good, good. Now we are having great enthusiasm and we are going to have a lot of crossover votes. You are going to have people that never voted coming across. The polls dont even take that into advantage. I think we are going to do great. We love the democrats if they cross over. Do we agree with that . And the people that have never voted before. You know, its amazing when do i shake hands with people or do whatever they call it, the rope they call it. Every 20th person says to me, mr. Trump, ive never voted before and they will be wearing like a trump shirt. Stand up with that beautiful trump shirt. Look at this handsome guy. Hes shy. There he is. Look at this guy. Hes not shy. Hes not shy. I love this guy. Thank you, thats so cool. I havent seen that shirt around. I dont know if they got that one on television. I have a feeling theyre not allowed to but its been amazing and we are winning a lot. We won 21 or 22 states, it was announced that we just won missouri. [cheers and applause] we have a movement going on, we have independents and democrats. Same thing we continue to hear from him. We will continue to monitor his speech and we will go back if he gets into some of the issues. Of course, the latest University Law school poll shows him trailing ted cruz. I wonder if hell speak about that. We will keep an eye on that on the campaign trail. Its less than an hour. It feels like a year already, doesnt it . S p and dow teaching nearly highs. Where do we go from here . Great to see you. I was reading your midday notes. Whats going on here, maybe its too many foolery, what are you talking about . [laughter] it seems like whenever you have Something Like 98, 99 or 100, gentleman janet yellen, let the dogs out. Dragging that back up to 95. So it seems like we are cooperating with Central Banks around world. Ecp compliance, our currency gets too expensive, its not good for multinational. Its almost as if theres a Global Cooperation here to keep our currency, dxy ashley we will go with that. Also the end of the quarter coming up. We are going to get into earning season. Earnings have been pretty awful. Does that give the market a reality check when we get the firstquarter earnings . So to get higher prices its proversed but you dont need earn to go support that. So lets say lets just reallocate where we are going to put our money and play the areas that we they theyll be bert and you better, you have to try to excel in what they give you. Ashley very true. Play the hand youre dealt. Coming up next, five president ial candidates remain in the race, we know that. Could the finances force one of them out before they get to the finish line. Charley will break it next. Every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. That is cybercrime and it affects each and every one of us. Microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cybercrime. We use the microsoft cloud to visualize information ashley this very minute talking to the crowd warming them up earlier, hes getting pretty good at this now, will cause [laughter] based on what i heard about something else. Ashley campaign financing. Thats been a hot topic and questions that remain to be answered. How much money is still in their pockets and would it be enough to get them to the general election, charlie, what have you heard . Theres a whole other story. We will stick with campaign financing. Here is the fascinating thing. John kasich now has negative 2. 7 million. Ashley hes in the hole by nearly 3 million. Round it up. Donald who has been lending his Campaign Money has 1. 5 million but he can lend himself another 20, liquidate some golf course money somewhere. Bernie sanders raised 17 million. Ashley yeah. Hillary clinton is rolling into cash and she has as much as she wants. Kasich is telling people that he is going to raise money in pennsylvania ahead of the pennsylvania primary which hes hoping to upset donald trump coming two weeks. Ashley 3 million in the hole. Does he have enough money to make it to the convention or pick targets . The one thing the reason why rubio had to drop out post florida even though he was told by donors and we broke the story to drop out, you are going to lose, after florida, after he lost, they were like we are done with you. Really you are if youre a candidate unless youre selffinancing like donald trump youre captive to your donors, so, you know, this guy it seems like we do have a call out to them. When you have no money you cant take out all the ads, you cant make strategic moves, you have no money to do it. We should point out ken backing Chris Christie before that is now endorsing kasich, i dont see where is the money from ken . Ashley money on the gop side going to ted cruz . More and more of it and if he wins wisconsin as the latest poll shows hell get more money. Its going to be hard for kasich to stay to the end. Ashley 75 million for hillary, the stories come out that perhaps the higherups in the democrats, those have not kicked in the money yet get behind her and the only one that can win it. Here is the thing ashley thats unfair to Bernie Sanders. Hes run a respectful campaign. If she goes against donald trump and, you know, hes the republican nominee and shes not indicted or james doesnt quit, now theres more stuff coming out about just how serious the fbi investigation, it was in the Washington Post yesterday that the fbi staff has privately concluded that she probably broke some law, whether they bring the charge, we dont know. I think its going to be hard for donald to beat her because hes going to be very underfunded. Shes going to have money hand over fist. Ashley apparently so. Good stuff as always. Coming up next as the prime primary race heats up, clinton taking up donald trump in the fight for new york, a Political Panel reads between the lines next on countdown.

The ad singles out gop frontrunner, big surprise, donald trump. New york, 20 Million People strong. No, we dont all look the same. We dont all sound the same either.

Connell mcshane is there with all the details. Connell . New york matters this year, ashley. I think that is really the story with her being here on this day with wisconsin not even having voted yet.
