In the last poll before the Iowa Caucus, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are virtually tied with Trump at 27% and Cruz at 26%. This is a 6-point drop in one week, as the Emerson Poll on January 21 had Trump at 33%. In the same period, Marco Rubio's is at 22% - up 8 points from 14% during the same time period. The rest of the GOP field is far behind, all under 5%.

EMERSON?...........
“The poll found the decision by front runner Donald Trump to skip the last Republican debate had a negative impact on his support: - 39% of GOP caucus voters said they were less likely to vote for Trump as a result of the boycott, while 14% viewed his absence as enhancing the likelihood they would vote for Trump. Fifty-two percent (52%)judged Trump’s boycott as unimportant in impacting their vote.
“Since our January 21 poll, Trump’s favorability has decreased by 10 points,” said ECPS data analyst Matt Couture, and his decision to boycott the debate seems to be a
factor in this decrease”.”

Student pollsters:
[39% of GOP caucus voters said they were less likely to vote for Trump as a result of the boycott]
39% of caucus goers weren’t going to vote for Trump anyway.
Leaving a possible 66% of caucus goers with a functioning brain...
I bet Cruz n.1 (+2)
298 voters with a 5.6 MOE. It’s really criminal that Emerson is running with this on the day of the caucus. There is really no value in this poll.
Cruz is going to win this.
Don’t be surprised if Rubio wins or posts a strong 2nd in Iowa
Let us pray
If the voters of Iowa choose Ted Cruz...there will be not one change to the totall failure in Washington DC, caused by the Democrat Party and the Republican Establishment, RINO Party!!! The Dems & Pubbies will wipe out Ted Cruz in a New York minute. It matters not, which Democrat wins the Iowa caucus...because nothing will change In Washington, DC...not one thing!!!
Ther is only one last hope for the future USA, and that is Donald Trump!!! He alone will politically destroy th Republican Establishment, or will make them toe the line, and he will also destroy the Democrat candidate and political party as a destroyer to our beloved USA!!!
Wise up, Iowa...and face the facts....you either vote for Trump, or our country will remain on the destructive path it is on!!! a vote for Ted Cruz is a vote thrown into the garbage can of failure for our country!!! End of story!!!
On the contrary, Trump will take the whole ticket down in flames and allow Clinton to slime into the WH. 70% of all voters have a negative view of him and even at his highest, has 60% of Republicans against him.
[39% of GOP caucus voters said they were less likely to vote for Trump as a result of the boycott]
39% of caucus goers werent going to vote for Trump anyway.

MS Bing says Trump wins handily.
Mainly: We don’t know.
Which is great.
Let the voters show up and tell us all about it.
Laz would hit four out of five.
