Yesterday we had a Des Moines Register poll, that Trump doubted because they hate him, that showed Ted Cruz is pummeling him in Iowa. Today we have another faked poll from Faux News that hates Trump because they’re showing the same thing.

New @FoxNews Iowa poll: Among likely caucus-goers @tedcruz now stands at 28% @realDonaldTrump at 26% #FNS pic.twitter.com/gtIJ85Bm9z — FoxNewsSunday (@FoxNewsSunday) December 13, 2015 |
More from Faux News:
Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are the top two candidates Iowa Republican caucus-goers say are the most qualified to handle the top two issues facing the country — the economy and national security.
That gives them front-runner status in a new Fox News poll of Iowa likely caucus-goers.
The poll, released Sunday, also finds Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by double-digits among Democrats in the Hawkeye State.
Cruz garners 28 percent support and Trump 26 percent among GOP likely caucus-goers. Together they command more than half of the total support. Rubio comes in third with 13 percent. Carson, the Iowa front-runner in October, is fourth with 10 percent. Those four compose the clear top tier.
Five percent back Jeb Bush and Rand Paul. All other candidates come in at two percent or less.
When the results are narrowed to just those GOP caucus-goers who say they will "definitely" attend, Cruz's advantage over Trump increases: 32 percent vs. 25 percent. Trump has a 3-point edge over Cruz among those who say they will "probably" attend.

More from our @FoxNews poll: @GOP nominee preference among likely Iowa caucus-goers. @tedcruz leads with 32% #FNS pic.twitter.com/Gq10SL3ZUE — FoxNewsSunday (@FoxNewsSunday) December 13, 2015 |
And also….
GOP caucus-goers who identify as "very" conservative help propel Cruz in Iowa, as 4 in 10 back him (42 percent). Trump comes in second with 23 percent and Carson gets 14 percent among this group.
White evangelical Christians are a significant voting bloc in Iowa and they also put Cruz on top, although by a narrower margin. He gets 31 percent compared to 24 percent for Trump. Another 14 percent go for Rubio and 10 percent Carson.
Caucus-goers with a college degree prefer Cruz by 5 points (26 vs. 21 percent), while those without a degree go for Trump by 3 points (32 vs. 29 percent).
Cruz gets his highest support — 48 percent — from those who are part of the Tea Party movement — that's double Trump's 24 percent.
Meanwhile, Cruz has more room than Trump to grow his support in Iowa. Three in 10 caucus-goers say they could "never" support Trump (30 percent), while just 6 percent say the same about Cruz. Nearly a quarter (23 percent) says they couldn't back Bush, and roughly one in 10 couldn't back Christie, Kasich, Paul and Graham.
Dang. The poll is from randomly drawn 807 Iowa caucus-goers, but they clearly cherry picked all the total losers.

"@JPMORGAN2016: @realDonaldTrump @Peggynoonannyc TRUMP IS WINNING BY SO MUCH MORE, IT'S NEAR 60% NATIONALLY. THEY ARE ALL BIASED POLLS!!!!" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2015 |
Damn straight!!!
I hear yeb boosh is rising and near 100% too.
The good news about Cruz’ surge in Ioway (which is what my Southern relatives called Iowa), is he will get more media time.
Yeb is near 100%— NO.
Pretty high Margin of Error. 6.5%.
Yeb is near 0%— YES
:) Go home Yeb. You are on the wrong side of history to quote our
fabuloso presidente.
If by the end of the Iowa primary, you are not at 5% or better ... I am of the opinion that it would be best to call it quits, and support one of the top candidates. For the sake of the party that is.
Now I am sure that the GOPe will cry rivers if that actually happens because 3 of the top candidates are not theirs.
Go Ted Go!
I want tho see this guy gut Hillary, gently and respectfully LOL
Plus or minus 6.5 points...why don’t they just flip a coin?
I dont get it.
I noticed that :)
It’s kinda fishy that the day after Trump slammed the “register” that his polls showed such a dive and Cruz showed an abnormal gain.
Sounds more like sour grapes than an accurate poll.
Let’s put aside the Trump/Cruz rivalry and rejoice together that everyone else is toast!
totally contrived. Look at CNN. 33!!! Who do you think will flood those Caucuses? I mean FLOOD!!
“
Go Ted Go!

Yes, they can debate about who gets the most from the SAME donors...the open border lobby, Goldman Sachs, the trial lawyers. Check open secrets.
Ben Carson was leading a month ago. The only poll that matters in Iowa is still over a month away.
Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration
What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.
snip
Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.
Most of the current polling is garbage. The polling industry has shown incapable of dealing with changing the behavior of voters with respect to interactions with polling organization. They can’t figure it out and therefore the results have been all over the place. But attacking poll results that you don’t like while embracing those results you like will certainly disappoint. All of it is nonsense and should be ignored, most are nothing but part of the media’s propaganda product anyway.
Ann Selzer’s poll in the Des Moines Register could be the only exception to the above. She is still using the old proven methods and is adjusting to the changes by spending more money to conduct her poll and by working harder, harder than more than all the others. We’ll need to see if she has done what none of the others could do, but she is one most likely to deliver a credible result.
This is much better for the Republican party, especially Conservatives.
Trump is a pro-Abortion, pro-Obamacare big government Democrat who hates foreigners. He’s Woodrow Wilson with a toupe’.
Trump has turned out bigger crowds than anyone and the also will turn out to vote.
