Washington (CNN) -- Ted Cruz is leading again for the Republican nomination on CNN's Political Prediction Market.
The Texas senator is at 32% odds to win the nomination, at the top of the Republican pack. Donald Trump is second with his odds at 28% and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is in third place with his odds at 27%.
CNN's Political Prediction Market, administered by a company called Pivit, is game that factors polls and other elements and invites users to predict where the election will go. The markets change as the public weighs in on the increasing or decreasing chance that a candidate or party wins or loses an election. It should not be confused as a survey from real voters.
Cruz first took the lead on December 22, lost the lead to Trump on December 30 and then regained the lead Tuesday around 12 p.m. E.T.
In the Prediction Market, Iowa still belongs to Cruz, with his chances of winning the Hawkeye State at 82%. Trump is second with 14%, with his odds declining, and Rubio is at 3% odds.
The Iowa caucus is the first electoral event of 2016, which falls on February 1.

It’s that simple.
This is their final Unitparty save move:
Get Cruz nominated. Starve him of money and get Hillary elected.
Trump is the one they can’t control with money, so it is all hands on board to ax Trump.
They hate Cruz, but he’s not polling 20% of black vote and working class whites. They could actually lose to Trump.
Cruz is an easy win for Dems.
So this is worthless Lamestream media blather, not news, just entertainment.
Only look at prediction markets where money is on the line. Anyone can sign into this market and state there “opinion”.
CNN is dishonest, and every honest person knows it.
Absolutely they now want Cruz. They are in the anybody but Trump phase. If Trump goes down, Cruz will be easy to destroy. Enter Jeb to save the day.
She looks great as a dog!
OK, here’s the deal. Cruz might win Iowa, with Trump coming in second. He’ll then come in 4th or lower in NH with Trump carrying the state going away. Then on to SC where Trump is going to win, with the rest of the votes going to the RINOs. Trump takes SC easy. Not Cruz. Then Florida, where Trump is again leading. Where does Cruz think he can win? Trump ever leads him in Texas. Maybe if he spoke a little Spanish he could appeal to conservative hispanics, but he never had the inclination to learn the language of his father. Strange to say the least. A man name Cruz who wants a career in politics but didn’t want to spend a few bucks on a Rosetta Stone video.

CNN = Establishment
Please do not be so gullible to believe the Establishment’s wishful thinking at CNN.
Bush’s last name is not Cruz. Big difference.
Still, Trump’s statement has some truth in it.
Our country would be more unified and less balkanized if everyone strove to learn and master English.
In fact, I’d rather someone master the US constitution than master his ancestor’s native tongue.
I’m just saying how many better Cruz would be as a candidate if he spoke Spanish. His democrat, Spanish speaking opponent in his US senate race won the hispanic vote going away. But I certainly agree with you that all immigrants need to learn English when they come to America, and leave their old ways behind.
