7.2% MOE - what is point?
It’s SO EARLY now. Let’s wait until the people start focusing in the election, then we’ll see Trump start to drop as people find you that he’s not a Reagan conservative. Just wait...
(LOL)
Reuters national 5-day rolling has Trump 40.6 and Cruz 10.5 (1/24/16).
Question about the caucus process —
I had heard that in 2008, the Obama people in Iowa were extremely aggressive and immovable during caucus discussions. They did well in Iowa that year by basically being jerks. I don’t know enough about how a caucus works, so I don’t know if this story is true — I don’t know if the strategy would be successful.
But if that is a viable approach to a caucus, then 2016 will be interesting, because I think the Trump and the Cruz contingents are both willing to be jerks.
And I wonder is being an aggressive, unreasonable and immovable jerk will perhaps backfire in a 2016 caucus. A lot of folks are tired of that behavior.
Where are all of the Cruzers who were quipping “When’s the NATIONAL primary”???
What’s their comeback now??
Seriously, WHAT IS IMPORTANT is that Trump, Cruz, and Carson are at 55% in relatively blue New Hampshire and at 70% in South Carolina, meaning that even if Rubio were to get all of the kiddie votes, he still won’t get a majority in New Hampshire and won’t even come close to a majority in the South.
Hard to see much hope for the GOPe at this point.
New Poll PING!!!
Would love to see Ted Cruz negotiate an endorsement from Ben Carson or Marco Rubio this week...
It would be huge!
If Trump and Cruz could kiss and make-up and run on the same ticket, they could be unbeatable.
Trump, Cruz, Rubio. 1,2,3 in all 3 early battleground primary states. Gentleman, start your engines. We have a race here.
All that matters right now is IOWA, this is better news for Cruz than Fox or CNN, dont forget 2 polls out with CNN the other day that has Cruz up 3 and Trump up 1.
CNN John King said the hardest thing is how do pollsters judge/guess turnout, so he was cautioning people on their 11 point lead for Trump
Broken record here, but they also asked another way within same poll that showed Cruz up by 2.
MSM wants to take Cruz down also.
Whatabout people supporting other candidates in IOWA that are not big on Trump? Will they switch to Cruz ?
The 4 GOP-establishment candidates have a whopping 17%. Combined.
Rubes 13%
Christie 1%
Bush 1%
Kasich 1%
And the talking heads at FOX et al STILL don’t get why we are so pissed off and angry at the Bushies GOP-E!
Becks endorsement will hurt Cruz with sane voters, especially since
said he would vote for Bernie over Trump.
This will not turn out well for Cruz.
Go Jeb!
Haha. Not.
They, and their supporters, should all be happy with a virtual tie.
That’s a huge margin of error.
Winner-take-all begins after March 15.
Jeb is looking good. Sandwiched in between Christie and iCarly.
Right where he should be, LOL.
