Ted Cruz has opened up a firm lead over rival Donald Trump in first-in-the-nation state Iowa, 31 to 21, according to a new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll released Saturday.
The poll is closely watched by political analysts who consider it a reliable measure of Iowa caucus voters.....
Cruz's ascension represents the largest spike for one candidate between Des Moines Register polls in at least the last five presidential elections.
Though fifth overall, Jeb Bush records the highest negative ratings in the poll, with 54 percent of likely Caucus-goers disapproving of him....

Asked Saturday by the Globe specifically if he would drop out of the race for president if he didn't qualify for the main-stage GOP debate, Paul said: "We will make an announcement, on that, on Tuesday." - Source
After spending beaucoup dinero Bush’s numbers are embarrassing.
If I were Bush I’d pay the family doc to say I had a serious, but curable, disease and drop out for health reasons, don’t ya know.
Old news.
This is the same polling firm that had Santorum polling at 6% just before he won the last Iowa caucus.
Yea Iowa is a strange state-— first it was Huckabee then Carson— and in between it has been Trump, now it is Cruz....I think Santorum won last election cycle... It wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up winning again in Iowa.. haha

Oh please, it is from the Des Moines Register,you really are scraping the bottom of the poll.
lol... I thought maybe I had read that before
Saw somewhere the latest CNN poll had Trump at 32 or 33, cruz at 20.
Trump’s supporters have agreed to let Cruz be Trump’s Vice President. Very generous.

Donald warned us about the Des Moines Register this morning:

Is he psychic? Did he have advance warning? It will be interesting to see the polls over the next week.
Rapidly changing snapshots should make this a very interesting primary season.
Of course he did - a preemptive strike against bad news for him.
Seeing is believing. He called them HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, and very DISHONEST.the crowd totally agreed
