A new Iowa poll finds Donald Trump with a strong seven point lead, less than one week from caucus day. Ted Cruz is in second and Marco Rubio is in third, the poll finds.

That’s unpossible!
GO TRUMP GO
Steve Deace said so!!!
Not to worry! Ted Cruz has a fantastic ground game! GO TED!
After the wounded warrior rally tomorrow night Trump’s numbers will go up again.
Okay, so maybe Ted wins Iowa. Then what? He sadly goes the way of Rick Santorum who won Iowa last time. He has no means to win another state.
Then Ted will always have Iowa 2016 to remember. Who knows, Harold Stassen must have won Iowa at least once in the nine times he ran for President! Ted is young. He could break Harold’s record. ;-)
Agreed. That should put him in double digits.
He’s had the lead since the last debate, but it’s good to see another poll confirming it.
Cruz will win Texas handily. Lot of delegates in Texas. More than Iowa, NH, SC and Nevada combined. If Trump wins Iowa by any margin I agree it will be tough for Cruz. But if Cruz wins Iowa and we get to Super Monday things may get interesting.
As usual Cruz leads with Republican voters who Caucus and Trump leads with independents and Republicans who do not Caucus.
“Donald Trump earns 30% support and Ted Cruz has 23% support when likely caucusgoers
are asked who they will caucus for on February 1st. Marco Rubio (16%) and Ben Carson (10%)
are in the field’s second tier. The remaining candidates earn less than 5% support each,
including Jeb Bush (4%), Mike Huckabee (3%), John Kasich (3%), Rand Paul (3%),
Chris Christie (2%), and Carly Fiorina (2%).
Yes, but who’s winning?
It Trump wins the first several states, Cruz may very well be out before Texas comes up. Even then, Trump will win Texas at that point.
The New York liberal is leading nationally by large margins in the Republican party and by small margins in the Democrat Party.
A disstinking possibility.
Likely Caucus goers and Republican party voters who regularly attend the Caucus are two different screens.
Give it a few weeks, he’ll be getting a higher % of Dems than any of the Dem candidates.
