TRUMP, CRUZ ON TOP IN TOPSY-TURVY IOWA GOP CAUCUS,
Quinnipiac ^ | 11/24/15 | Pat Smith

Posted on 11/24/2015 5:14:49 AM PST by BigEdLB

Donald Trump gets 25 percent of Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants in a too-close-tocall race with Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas who is at 23 percent, double his support from four weeks ago, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Dr. Ben Carson has 18 percent, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 13 percent. This compares to the results of an October 22 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University showing Carson at 28 percent, with 20 percent for Trump, Rubio at 13 percent and Cruz at 10 percent.


TOPICS: Front Page News; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; US: Iowa
KEYWORDS: cruz; elections; polls; trump
The problem with Quinnipiac always is the exaggerated gender gap with Trump: Men 30 Women 17 Always around 2:1. I have a hard time believing that.

Trump 25 (+5) Cruz 23 (+13) Carson 18 (-10) Rubio 13 (nc) Paul 5 (-1) Bush 4 (-1) Fiorina 3 (-2)

Cruz rises as Carson drops.

QU is one of the worst polling firm in the nation and just flat out lie for the left.
they were dead wrong on all their 2014 push polls and have blown the FL Gov polls for the last two elections by calling them for the Dems.
QU was created by formers leftists from CBS and the NYSlimes.

Trump/Cruz tossup is the likely scenario.

Maybe Jeb could practice for the next debate by eating at the kiddie table this Thanksgiving.

There’s nothing topsy-turvy about it. This is a wishful thinking poll and it looks ridiculous compared to the CBS poll showing Trump up 9.

No, there isn't. Both Cruz and Carson have had underlying strengths in Iowa (like strong ground games with experienced Iowa leadership) that was ignored until the MSM and RINO pundits had reason to 'suddenly' discover and hype it.
