I think Cruz may have some Republican brass support in Iowa, and he has been blaring that horn, but I’m not certain that he’s got the votes of the people, just yet.
The Cruz favored polls are relying on standard issue polling, I read. Seems the best one, I believe it was, was based on previous caucus goers, where he did very well.
Trump, on the other hand, smoked him in the poll that was based upon new voters, who were ramped up for Trump, and it also included electronic polling.
Based on different polling methods, from standard issue, it may be too soon for Cruz to force the narrative that he is assured of winning Iowa.
This article wasn't written by Ted Cruz. And frankly, the person who wrote this isn't touting Cruz.
Cruz isn’t forcing a narrative. He’s campaigning to win in Iowa. Most of the articles seem to say he’s building a strong ground game there. So he certainly isn’t taking it for granted.
My people in Iowa say different. Not only does he have the best ground game, but he’s bringing in 500 out-of-state volunteers to knock on doors.
