According to entrance polling... Entrance polling had Trump winning, guess Iowans like to LIE!

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

Do you know what a caucus is?

Zat so, I think they are telling the pollsters to get lost.

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

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.

No so much Iowans lying as pollsters relying on old and outdated polling methodologies that haven’t been updated to account for modern data-driven GOTV.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.
