Presidential Poll Results: Ted Cruz Passes Ben Carson in Latest Iowa Poll
Drury Mirror ^ | 11/28/15 | Lucy Bush

Posted on 11/27/2015 5:18:58 PM PST by markomalley

Meanwhile, Carson has fallen from 28 percent to 18 percent. "Today, the spotlight turns to Sen Cruz".

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking how Trump witnessed people jumping out of the Twin Towers from more than four miles away. Soon after Carson's poll numbers threatened his lead, Trump relentlessly went after the doctor. "Ted Cruz of Texas", Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown said in a statement. Marco Rubio, at 13%, is the only other Republican in double digits.

But Kasich received little attention from Trump that night - the governor was only mentioned a couple of times at the start of his speech, when Trump noted his single-digit poll results. No other candidate tops 2%.

In an odd way, this reminds me of Trump goofing on McCain's war heroism this past summer by saying he prefers heroes who don't get captured.

He also pointed out that winning the Iowa caucuses "is no guarantee of success elsewhere" as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen.

There's a growing consensus among Iowa's conservatives that they must elect someone this time around who can get past the early states as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum struggled to do.

Last month at an old-fashioned soda counter in Sidney, Iowa, the senator was greeted by a Vietnam veteran who told him, "I voted for Obama for change". For now, most surveys cover Republican-leaning adults or registered voters, rather than likely voters.

"People move into a house a block down the road, you know who's going in", Trump continued. Rand Paul are tied for fifth place at 5% each and Carly Fiorina at 3%.

Trump originally said he'd support waterboarding during an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week".

"Well what we were talking about was the reaction of Muslims after the 9/11 attack, and if they were in a celebratory mood", the retired neurosurgeon and current Republican candidate told Fox News' "The Kelly File".

"Clearly, Trump has memory issues or willfully distorts the truth, either of which should be concerning for the Republican Party", Fulop said. Carson and Paul are at 6 percent each.

Ty Wright/Getty Images Donald Trump still leads the latest Quinnipiac poll in Iowa, getting 25% support. Rubio and Cruz are now at 48 and 45 percent, respectively, in the Gallup poll.

The presidential poll that was conducted by Washington Post/ABC News from November 16 to 19 had the billionaire businessman from NY leading by 10 points.

I've had a couple beers and thought maybe it was me. Now that you've confirmed the article is a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, I think I'll have a shot!

Too much can happen between now and then, right?

"...the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It's suggested that you do stay away from that."

I'm having trouble with this article?. I can't make heads or tails of what this dimly lit was saying, or trying to say. What are Trump's numbers?

For now, most surveys cover Republican-leaning adults or registered voters, rather than likely voters.

The only thing that made sense, but is useless.
