FoxNews released a new poll on Friday. As I've said many times, at this stage of the game it is foolish to focus on specific numbers. Divining what the voting cohort of November 2016 will look like is virtually impossible. But what the polls, taken as a group, can show us are trends. First we'll look at the topline numbers and then try to scratch around in the seething, effervescing puddle of intergers and see what we can see.
National Topline.
Trump 35, Cruz 20, Rubio 13, Carson 10, Christie 2, Bush 4, Paul 2, Fiorina 3, Kasich 2, Huckabee 1, Santorum 0. No suprises here. It shows what all other polls have been showing. Trump leads the field. Cruz is in a solid second place. Rubio is in a solid third place. Carson seems to have staunched the bleeding but I suspect he is nearly broke and will be out of the race before the SEC primary on March 1. The GOP Establishment candidates -- Bush, Christie, and Kasich -- are tied with the rest of the field at what is within the Margin of Error of zero. Trump has stagnated and may -- or may not -- be declining.
rcp average 1-9-16
Iowa Topline.
Cruz 27, Trump 23, Rubio 15, Carson 9, Bush 7, Huckabee 2, Paul 5, Christie 4, Fiorina 1, Kasich 1, Santorum 1. Back just before Christmas, Gravis also did an Iowa poll, Gravis, as you know, was the gold standard for Iowa polling in 2014.

However, I prefer SCHLONGED!
Just a hunch, but I think it could be a blowout.
Go Cruz Go!
Not one dime from Cruz went to the Clintons. Cruz never bought democrats politicians Cruz has been doing his all to defeat them!
Cruz is funded by Club for Growth who also fund Bush and Rubio.
This will certainly be a block buster movie in attendance and not a good thing for the Clintoon machine:

Pretty fair assessment for a site that HATES Trump.
But one comment: While Trump has been attacked ferociously by both the media and the GOPe, Cruz has only been poked at, so far, and Pretty Boy has not been touched. So the apparent larger leads by Cruz and Pretty Boy over The Wildebeest will fade as the media comes out with both barrels at both of them (and for Cruz, he’ll also have the GOPe coming out with both barrels, should Trump falter).
Why is Carson at 10?? That’s ridiculous.
Yeb! is the only one running currently who could lose to Hilary!
He is the Designated Loser
“Not one dime from Cruz went to the Clintons. Cruz never bought democrats politicians Cruz has been doing his all to defeat them!”
However, there is money from the pro-amnesty crowd and the pro-gay marriage crowd going to Cruz. Is Cruz being bought, and isn’t the buyer in the driver’s seat?
If Trump was buying politicians with donations, then Cruz also is being bought by donations.
Lindsey dropped out too soon
But Lindsey Graham said that Cruz was a guaranteed loser against Her Thighness?!?!? Could Linda be wrong?
Lindsey dropped out too soon
I think his dog might have beaten Hillary. Lindsey... not so much.
I am not confident.
How many less than 30 year people that visit this site? Less than 50?
Lurk on the social media and you will see how these young brains have been molded by others.
Let the lectures begin, this is just what I see.
Some polls now say as many as 20% of Democrats support Trump. I wonder if the polling methods account for that and the possibility that Trump could receive many Democrat votes in open primary states?
The support from Reagan Democrats and other Democrats could be any area where Trump’s support is underestimated, both in primary support and general election support.
Repeating.
Not one dime from Cruz went to the Clintons. Cruz never bought democrats politicians Cruz has been doing his all to defeat them!
Go Cruz Go all the way to the Whitehouse!
Trump’s beagle beats Hillary? There you go.
