The country clearly has mood swings but as a political hobbyist, I can't wait to see how this shakes out. Everything we've seen has been dominated by the combination of Trump/Carson in some form. Can Rubio or Cruz surprise people by winning Iowa? Will something happen before then that changes the "mood" of the electorate away from this current trend favoring the top two outsiders?

Iowa is a ground game contest and the one with the best game should be the winner.
A voter has to be committed to spend a couple hours at some caucus listening to people
plead for their candidate and then vote. So dedication is a major criteria to win. JMO

Jeb Bush: 0 percent

He would have done better by saying NO Comment.

Jeb Bush: 0 percent

That's almost nothing!

[cicero2k]

Blowout numbers.

They keep comparing to Herm Cain and Rudy Giuliani, but those guy’s support were narrow parabolic arcs.

Trump is more or a building with a foundation.

Trump has the money, smarts and associates to put together whatever is needed for a formidable ground/air game.

I don't think he's waiting for things to just magically happen.

I would believe this poll; this is where Trump should be running, I’m surprised they posted it...but good for Trump, shows more of the truth...

[samtheman]

None of the pundits called this one.

[ozarkgirl]

What I find most amusing about this whole thing is hearing the pundits saying over and over how it’s going to change. As the election gets closer, people are going to realize they will need someone with experience in these matters and their votes will change to a more traditional candidate.

They’ve been saying it for months. :)

Use to like Krauthammer, thought he was really smart. Don’t like him anymore.

[SamAdams76]

Also, whatever happened to the cavalcade of polls we've been subjected to on a daily basis for the past few months?

My theory is that the lamestream media is tired of showing Trump constantly on top and is now choosing to ignore his existence as much as possible. You can bet that if Trump had fallen in the polls, they would be trumpeted far and wide.

[Sir Napsalot]

Huh? We were told Cruz or Rubio (after the latest GOP debate), and that’s it.

Is this an online poll?

[GOPJ]

Trump and Cruz were the flat out winners...

[Signalman]

But as Krauthammer said last night, if online polls were accurate, Ron Paul would have been president for the past 16 years.

[CA Conservative]

There is no detail about the poll shown on the site. Was this an online poll? If not, what polling company was used? Were auto-dialers used instead of real callers? What were the demographic breakdowns of the responses?

I suspect that this is like the Drudge poll, just an online poll. If so, it has no more real value than the polls that always used to show Ron Paul winning.

I watched that debate, and while Trump didn't do much to hurt himself, he really didn't do anything to stand out, either. Financial issues are supposed to be his strength, but his performance was more of the same - lots of claims about how great his businesses are and how great America will be when he is elected, but not a lot of substance on a subject that he should have been able to ace.

[TBP]

Big deal.
