Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are pounding down the stretch in Iowa attacking each other on multiple fronts as they grapple for the lead with six days to go before the Republican caucuses, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University released Tuesday.
Trump has the support of 31 percent of likely caucus-goers, to 29 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. No other candidate breaks 7 percent, the poll found. Two percent told interviewers they were undecided, but 39 percent of those who chose a candidate say they may change their minds before the caucuses next Monday....

Good.
Good.
Enough to scare the beJsus out of any Liberal.
This is going to be interesting.
I believe Cruz and Trump as statistically tied based on what is known.
There are several unknowns that we’ll know next week! Hang on, folks!
If Cruz wins Iowa, Kasich will likely win New Hampshire and then the race is up for grabs with the establishment hands doing all the grabbing as their pick wins the nomination yet again and we get left with the status quo. And then the Democrat wins once again in the general. Hope you all enjoy your Trump bashing.
One Trump supporter here is claiming that Trump will bus in thousands of out of staters to vote in Iowa.
One thing is for sure. This has been a real barn-burner. I haven’t ever been this engrossed in the Iowa caucus.
Hahahaha!
Not a Trump supporter claiming that - it was GodGunsGuts saying that crap.
One of you lies, another one swears to it, and the third one blames Trump or his supporters.
How pathetic.
Your post is ironic, and pathetic.
It was a Trump supporter on this thread.
Enjoy the delusion while you can, Cruzers, because we're less than a week away before you all can no longer deny reality.
Are you addressing that to me?
No. You were cc’ed because the conversation was about your post last night.
Here are some interesting numbers:
Total Iowa Registered Republicans as of 1/14/16 = 1,046,955
- per Iowa Secretary of State website
(The 2012 total Republican caucus vote was 121,255).
These are the possible turnout results for 2016:
If 120,000 turn out, that = 11.4% turnout
If 140,000 turn out, that = 13.3%
If 160,000 turn out, that = 15.2%
If 180,000 turn out, that = 17.1%
If 200,000 turn out, that = 19.1%
It is entirely possible that 160,000 will turn out this year, just a one-third increase over 2012, and still just 15.2% of total registered Republicans.
Add to that the number of party-switchers who will also caucus Monday evening and the results could well be YUGE!
Heaven knows the Donald got plenty of mileage out the NY values thing.
Wow — ok. Well that’s fine. It is like the people who whisper “the same thing “ in a circle and it gets all discombobulated at the end.
What datura said was made up.
