Zat so, I think they are telling the pollsters to get lost.
You really don't have to lie, just tell them you're not interested in participating.
And Iowa is only a small, strange snapshot of the US with a very odd primary system that is open to all sorts of confusion and funny business.
Santorum and Huckabee won Iowa in the past with big numbers as I remember it, so I’m sure they had the crystal ball out back then trying to figure out what was going on to no avail...
Did u see post #16?
It’s Iowa Republicans, which are in no way representative of national Republicans or the electorate at large. And Levin has lost all objectivity in this race. So everything he says needs to be viewed through his own distorted lens of Cruz cheerleading.
With the fever pitch here lately, yes. My disagreement with Trump was called "heresy" and I was accused of "bearing false witness" when I quoted The Donald himself.
A Stalinist in Hillary's case.
I love Mark Levin but you are right, he has family in the Cruz campaign which is fine, but people need to realize that he will be a bit one sided on Cruz.
OK, still don’t see where Levin or the article says or infers that.
Or, the biggest turds in the toilet.
Uneducated people vote for Cruz.
“Cruz/West would be unbeatable!”

This means nothing - Iowa will go for either a commie or a crook in the general.
“””””New statistics about Ted Cruz NOBODY will talk about”””””
False statement.
You’re talking about it.
We are talking about it.
False.
True, but it is also possible that some of Trump’s support was soft and that through the caucus process his supporters proved to be just as malleable as he is.
but people need to realize that he will be a bit one sided on Cruz.
*************
Levin knows which side the bread has the butter ......
“the son of his fiance’ is a full time staffer for Senator Ted Cruz.”
Thees numbers are Republican voters only. What about the national numbers?
It has become a suspect election, so there’s really no idea who won. Stats don’t matter in that kind of a situation.
No so much Iowans lying as pollsters relying on old and outdated polling methodologies that haven’t been updated to account for modern data-driven GOTV.
Cruz really seems to get the whole big data GOTV thing, in ways the other GOP contenders don’t. My analysis of this is that Cruz used data to find pockets of first-time or inconsistant voters who leaned in his direction, targeted them aggressively and turned them out in ways inconsistant with past patterns (iow tossing the “belweather” precinct concept out on it’s ear).
This is exactly what Obama did in 2012. His campaign went aggressively after new/inconsistant Liberal voters and got them to vote. Because no one was expecting the formula to change as drastically as it did, he ended up with a “surprise” reelection win.
AMEN!!!
