CNN Political Prediction Market: Cruz leading Trump for nomination
CNN ^ | 01/06/2016 | By Daniella Diaz

Washington (CNN) -- Ted Cruz is leading again for the Republican nomination on CNN's Political Prediction Market.

The Texas senator is at 32% odds to win the nomination, at the top of the Republican pack. Donald Trump is second with his odds at 28% and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is in third place with his odds at 27%.

CNN's Political Prediction Market, administered by a company called Pivit, is game that factors polls and other elements and invites users to predict where the election will go. The markets change as the public weighs in on the increasing or decreasing chance that a candidate or party wins or loses an election. It should not be confused as a survey from real voters.

Cruz first took the lead on December 22, lost the lead to Trump on December 30 and then regained the lead Tuesday around 12 p.m. E.T.

In the Prediction Market, Iowa still belongs to Cruz, with his chances of winning the Hawkeye State at 82%. Trump is second with 14%, with his odds declining, and Rubio is at 3% odds.

The Iowa caucus is the first electoral event of 2016, which falls on February 1.

CNN is totally trustworthy when it comes to reporting on republicans. To be on the safe side, I’m waiting for the MSNBC predictions.

Traslation: Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce Rino/Globalist would rather have Cruz.

The Trumpsters crack me up. Poll/Prediction in their favor = Trump locking up the primaries. Poll/Prediction showing Trump behind = biased junk poll not worthy of their consideration. The only poll I care about is the one when voters actually cast their votes. If we’ve learned nothing from previous election cycles, it’s that polls are meaningless.

You wanna know my odds predictions?

Cruz - 25%
Trump - 25%
Rubio - 15%

...drum roll.......

Paul Ryan - 35%

The ascension of Paul Ryan to Speaker was a trial balloon or test run for an eventual convention floor fight. The question had to be answered...Was there a candidate that would be acceptable to both the RINOs and the conservatives in the Republican party. The failure of the House conservatives to stop Ryan showed the GOPe that Ryan could get through.

I think if it is a brokered convention, he will be drafted at, or in the weeks leading up to, the convention.

If Trump or Cruz can take a majority of the delegates we won't have to worry about it but I'm not so sure.

I would love Cruz to win but I see no logic to calling it for Cruz. Trump has double-digit leads over him in the polls and is the uncontested front runner. Plus dems may crossover in many states and help Trump as they see someone who can’t even construct simple sentences together as easier to defeat in a general election.

It shouldn’t crack you up at all. The phony prediction market at CNN says Cruz. The real wagers market at Betfair says Trump - Who you gonna believe?

“The Trumpsters crack me up”

You Cruz people crack us up.

You strut around calling yourselves “real conservatives”, but have no problem using leftist news sources when you think it helps him.

CNN? The Clinton News Network? Some real conservatives you people are.

Cant wait to see when you guys post something from “The Young Turks”.

When they only release percentages and don’t release the number of participants and amount of money, it means these things are invalid.

“I think if it is a brokered convention, he will be drafted at, or in the weeks leading up to, the convention.”

Their plan works to torpedo Trump, and then pull that kind of stunt,,,, and ill vote for Hillary on general principles. Just to help destroy the GOP.
