Can independent vote either way in California? My husband had to register as Repub to vote for Trump. We don't know if it goes through in time before we leave for a vacation.
California, according to the greenpapers is a closed primary. You have to be registered with the party whose primary that you want to vote in.
Real Clear Politics Indiana Polling
I wouldn't be betting any money based on this poll. IF Nate Silver says it's legit (and I see no way he can do that), then I might think it has some validity.
Problems with Legitimacy
1) Timing - it took them 2 weeks to ask 3 questions of 400 Republicans/400 Democrats - normal is 3-4 days
2) They have done ZERO polling since 2011
3) They have NEVER done a Presidential Poll
4) The polling began before the 5 State Blowout, we know when it started - why did it take a week to publish the results after it took 2 weeks to do the poll?
5) It's such a HUGE outlier from ALL the other polling
6) Cruz is getting 10's of 1,000's of people to his Indiana event, Cruz events are poorly attended.
It should be noted that there are several possible sources of error that may influence the results of this survey beyond the aforementioned sampling error. These include self-selection out of the survey (i.e., refusing to be interviewed, refusing to answer a call from an unknown phone number), question phrasing, question ordering, the tone conveyed by a questioner, alteration of the data via weighting procedures, and the manner in which respondents were filtered out (for example, determining who is a likely voter). Error that may result from these factors should be kept in mind when reviewing the results of this survey.
Does anyone remember the phony poll that emerged right before the Florida Primary? The one that said Rubio was winning ....... Trump WON Florida in a Landslide.
What is amazing is that sites like Huffpost, Realclearpolitics, Fox News have even posted this polls data. I mean these guys do a poll for 14 days that crossed through two major elections events (April 19th and April 26th) is just illegitmate on its face. IF any of these sites had an enterprising investigative journalist they should check into who financed and/or helped initiate this poll. It is more than possible that such a poll was commenced in order to effect both coverage but more ominously to defraud potential supporters out of contributions. I wonder who commissioned and PAID for this "poll"?

On the other hand, God told Cruz to run. Do you think that God would just let him dangle in the wind?

He has to be registered by the 15th calendar day before the election. I believe it's on June 7. Go back from there.

The last day to change your Party or to register in California is the 23 of May: Voter Registration | California Secretary of State. My wife and I changed our registration in PA a few weeks before the deadline. It amazed us how easy it was online and then we quickly received confirmation from our local county. I was expecting a long drawn out process. I presume that they can call their county and ask if their registration went through?
but but but...I thought the Wall Street Journal was garbage, biased and anti-Trump?! Thats what all the Trumpettes said when their polls show him losing in a primary or being destroyed by Hillary. Polls he's winning, the Trumpettes can't post it and shout it from the rooftops fast enough. So predictable

No need for the angry insult.
Actually I checked to see if it was a NBC/WSJ "agenda poll" which they are prone to release against Trump before important elections. In this case it was not because Public Opinion Strategies was not used to do the poll. Instead it was a legit poll by Marist. Whether or not it is accurate, I won't say but their methodology is there for anyone to see.
I'm guessing that NBC and Murdoch have decided to accept that Trump will be the nominee and won't waste more money on such nonsense.
