Meanwhile, with all voters, he is -4.
If Cruz were to get the nomination, he would have to balance his ticket with a moderate if he wanted a shot at winning. He needs independents. Independents don't want someone who thinks fighting against gay marriage is a top issue.
That's not a general election top issue. The general will be about foreign policy and immigration. Gay marriage is an irrelevant issue in this election cycle.
