The DMR poll is set to be released at 5:45 PM. Since campaigns get it beforehand, I assume it's bad news for Cruz, if his own campaign manager is already spinning it on Twitter.

Since the Des Moines Register endorsed Rubio, and proclaimed him the recent debate winner on their front page, I fear they're going to manufacture a Rubio 'surge' in this poll.

Cruz sucks more every minute that goes by. In fact, I hope he is kicked to the curb on his Senate Seat. He has become disgrace during this welfare run he is doing.

Trump 2016.

If turnout is high, one would think this would benefit Trump as opposed to Ruby Rubio.

That is why Ted Cruz is going to wipe the floor with Trump on Monday!

Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe didn't have a great record in Missouri. Don't know why Cruz thought he was the right guy for the job. Then again, heard that Rubio was using leftover Romney people.

Maybe using his own people who know the brand was a smart move on Trump's part.

Only by The One’s supporters. I am really pleased he has you guys in another snit fest. Total score of lies/obfuscation:
Trump - 100,000 plus/minus 10,000.
Cruz - 1 or 2?
I am glad he has Roe on his payroll. After the trash The One has piled on I hope they get meaner and nastier - but they can never compete with The One on nasty - it is a life long habit he can’t break.

Good idea. Trash one of the few conservative standard bearers over the past few years for a man with no conservative bona fides or accomplishments. So, even assuming that Trump wins, who will he have left to work with? Oh, right, he's already said he'll be working with Pelosi and Schumer.

When Trump makes his massive slide to the left (in the general, or more probably, once he's in office), I'm betting I'm going to be pretty busy reminding all of the folks who have bashed Levin, Rush, Sowell, and other conservatives like Cruz that they helped create the problem. They've torn down all of their allies, and for what? So that Democrats can use everything that other "conservatives" have said to discredit our allies for years after the next election is over.

The "stupid" party is definitely living up to it's name...

A voter turnout that high is quite a risky prediction.
The reliability of their polls would be severely damaged if it doesn’t occur.
And I don’t see how it would help Rubio.

2012 turn out was 19.8% among repubs.
Something in these numbers doesn’t match.
Unless they anticipate a significant number of no part folks to caucus, and I just don’t see a lot of them going for Rubio.

Unless that 285k number is a total of all parties.
In which case it would be pretty legit.

Des MoinesRegister.com viewers also can watch a livestream at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in which J. Ann Selzer, who conducts the Iowa Poll, will discuss general findings of the poll before horse-race results are announced at 5:45 p.m.
