I see what you mean, jgw, he's dropping in the polls and has recently been surpassed by Cruz. but it's a strange time for this to happen.
Halfway through the primary season with a big lead. At the moment he's still the "presumed" republican nominee but that could change. Do you suppose all the negative press is finally having an effect? Maybe his date with irrelevancy is just coming much later than everyone expected it to. But I don't find this particularly comforting. Republicans who might sit out a Trump bid against Hillary will likely feel no such compunction with Cruz and those same polls show a much tighter margin between Cruz vs Clinton.
