Public Policy Polling asks Floridians if Ted Cruz is Zodiac Killer
A poll by Public Policy Polling found that a number of Florida voters believe Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz could be the Zodiac Killer after including the shocking question on their recent survey of potential votes.
While a 62 percent majority of voters answered “No” when asked if they believed Cruz was responsible for the string of murders in the early 70s, 10 percent answered “Yes” and an additional 28 percent said they were unsure.
“Finally we find that 38% of Florida voters think it’s possible that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. 10% say he for sure is, and another 28% say that they are just not sure. Cruz is exonerated from being a toddler serial killer by 62% of the Sunshine State populace” the analysis states.
Several reports say the rumor from a weird twitter response to a speech Cruz delivered at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2013 titled “This is the Zodiac Speaking” and has become popular again since he began his presidential campaign.
Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm, asked the question relating to the bizarre Internet rumor after dedicating its inclusion “weird twitter”, when asked if it would appear on their latest round of voter polls.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,012 registered voters, including 464 likely Republican primary voters and 388 likely Democratic primary voters, on February 24th and 25th. The margin of error is +/-3.1% for the overall sample, +/-4.6% for the Republicans and +/-5.0% for the Democrats. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel.
