STUNNING: New statistics about Ted Cruz NOBODY will talk about
Allen West ^ | Feb 5, 2016 | Michele Hickford

Posted on 02/05/2016 11:38:17 AM PST by JSDude1

I was listening to Mark Levin’s radio show last night during which he expressed his frustration with how the GOP has allowed itself to be mired in meaningless “scandals” at the expense of making a clear case for conservatism and addressing policy. I agree with him. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that despite having a very strong lineup of candidates, on tp of 8 years of disastrous progressive liberalism, we could be in danger of losing this nation to a SOCIALIST?

While the media (even on our side) obsesses over tweets, there are critical issues we should be discussing. But that doesn’t meet the media’s agenda. Nor does having a strong conservative do well.

Levin pointed out some statistics from Iowa, as reported by the Weekly Standard, which you’ll find shocking.

As has been widely reported, Donald Trump’s appeal has mostly been to blue-collar voters, and he has risen to the top of the polls by blasting open-border immigration policies and the business-as-usual way of Republican—and American—politics. It is therefore striking that the Iowa entrance polling suggests that Trump lost among blue-collar voters (or, more specifically, among voters without college degrees) to Ted Cruz.

[Levin points out that two-thirds of the population do NOT have college degrees, so this a crucial data point]

According to entrance polling, among the roughly half of all Republican voters without a college degree, Cruz won 30 percent of the vote, eclipsing Trump’s 28 percent. Marco Rubio was a distant third, winning the support of just 17 percent of voters without college degrees.

If I take any poll which is not often, I never tell them what I think. None of their business.

This completely debunks the false narrative that Cruz can’t win. Really impressive stats.

There were certainly a lot of polls where Trump was going to win, but I don’t recall any entrance polls.

well let me be the first to say the obvious: Obviously Col West is just a establishment RINO hack! This is obvious because as we know, there is only one conservative and it is Donald, Blessed be his name, Trump. All others must repent of their anti-Trump sins!

do i really need a /s?

They are trying to extrapolate that Iowa = the entire nation.

After NH, they wont bother extrapolating anything from it.

To pollsters asking questions that are none of their business?

In any event, Entrance Polls have been wrong before, they'll be wrong again. Since Cruz' campaigning focused on the rural areas, it could just be that the pollsters picked the wrong preincts to poll.

Thirteen polls were wrong!

To quoteTrump, this is YUGE!

Its not people lying, it's wrong methods used to ascertain public leanings and it's only a snapshot of reality - not a good gauge.

That’s nice and from what I’ve seen I tend to agree with you, although I don’t know exactly why, and I don’t see what in the article says or infers that.
