It’s only one poll, and one I’m not a big fan of, but the trend lines seem very good for Cruz at this point. It’s all about watching the trends.
Trump is still in charge at this point, but he is starting to see some erosion. Ironic, since his bombast would seem tailor made after Paris and San Bernadino, but doesn’t seem to be building support after those two attacks.
If Trump has really slipped in Iowa it’s because he called the voters stupid for supporting Carson. He got his point across but the benefactor was Cruz, not him. This tactic will not work in SC and I predict Trump takes the state.
