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!!!
Any polling agency worth mentioning will first find out what its subscriber wants to hear and than devise a method for getting the numbers that deliver it. Obvious in this case.
The polls are probably correct. Iowa is more about grass roots organizing than any other state. Cruz is the master in this area.
What will be interesting is to see whether Cruz can take an Iowa caucus win, and translate it into momentum on a more national scale, where grass roots organizing, although still important, will mean less, and Trump’s huge advantage in free advertising will mean more.

Is the corn to ethanol issue relevant here?
It’s a conspiracy I tells you! Any poll that doesn’t have Trump on top is obviously fake or cooked up to get back at Trump! Damn Fox News and The Des Moines Register for ganging up on the best candidate in the history of forever!
So, for the clowns who want to pretend that Fox is somehow faking the polls, they should go to the Shaw and Co. Research Poll questions and results.

Truly we need immigrants. We are not reproducing ourselves and it is imperative we have a reasonable system of acquiring citizens.
How we do it is the question. Either that or young Americans need to start having babies and stop aborting babies. We have lost close to 60,000,000 Americans to abortion.
The only issue with Cruz was H1-B visas, a good program, misused by corporations. Sessions and Cruz have introduced legislation to impose penalties on businesses abusing the law.
-— The good news about Cruz* surge in Ioway (which is what my Southern relatives called Iowa), is he will get more media time. -—
We can hope. Anyway, something will be more than nothing.

We all know Ted and Don are eventually going to get in the ring together.
The Donald is a power puncher, Ted has finesse speed and accuracy, may the best man win.
