Oh my goodness. Trump is way up in all polls. A beautiful thing!
Yeah I think they are much closer than this this poll doesn’t sound realistic to me.
Trend is clear. Trump is up. Cruz is down. I see Rubio is shredding Cruz in NH today. Cruz is not finished going down, IMO. Cruz was hurt hiding out for 5 days in NH while the Trump Train got rolling through Iowa.
Really, let it play out. Huckabee and Howard Dean come to mind.
Emmerson College numbers back this poll up. Also this is post-debate/New York Values, and pre-Palin, Pre-Bandstad.
There is some good news for Cruz here. Among people who caucused in 2012: Cruz 30%/Trump 28%/Rubio 16%.
If Trump’s new supporters don’t show Cruz could still win a tight race.
With that said It’s been a BAD week for Ted. He needs to change the narrative FAST, and after reading about Jeff Roe I assume he’s going to start throwing some DIRTY bombs Trump’s way.
Yeah...but I’m more honest than a lot of the Cruzers are, too.
Nominate Bernie and it’s 1972; nominate Joe Biden and it’s 1968.
“The sampling is key for both leaders: Only including voters who previously caucused in their party’s most recent competitive caucus, Cruz is neck-and-neck with Trump, with 30% for Cruz to 28% for Trump. Rubio is steady at 16% in that sample.”
“CNN/ORC surveyed 2,002 Iowa adults by telephone Jan. 15 to Jan. 20, including 266 likely Republican presidential caucus-goers and 280 likely Democratic presidential caucus-goers. Both party samples have a margin of error of plus or minus six percentage points.”
Outlier?
Poll designed to create an outcome/narrative vs. reporting on one?
If this is even close, Trump will takes Iowa.
Trump rally on the USS IOWA.
a lot of times in close primary races one candidate starts pulling away in the last 10 days..
short one!
This is the third poll with Trump over 34% in IA the OANN poll included. If include the straw poll it’s the fourth.
Doh, you literally posted this while I was posting mine, cause I searched first.
I had to laugh at Michael Medved (RINO) today. He is convinced that the convention will be deadlocked because Trump will not have nearly enough delegates. Completely out of touch with reality.
This is shaping up to be a Trump steamroller.
From the near future: Trump wins 50 states!
I thought Hillary would nail the nomination quickly, running virtually unopposed and the DNC completely in the tank for her. She'd run around the country for a couple of months trashing Republicans endlessly while they were locked in a tough primary season.
Instead, Trump could seal the deal in a matter of weeks and turn this scenario completely on its head. He could be roving the country hosting massive rallies, hammering Hillary nonstop, while she desperately tries to fend off Bernie.
The political class simply has no idea what is happening.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I’m not sure how many folks caught it, but I predicted ‘a possible’ consolidation of polling for Trump, because I thought they were gaming it down before. Before an election they have to return to some sort of sanity or lose face when they are way way off.
This wasn’t my idea. Another Freeper raised the issue, and he was right. That made sense.
We may be seeing that shift back towards reality.
And you know folks, if they did it in Iowa, they did it everywhere. Trump may be just butchering the competition nationally.
At the end of the day, the one hurdle Cruz hurdle that may have been too high to leap, was that he currently sits in the Senate of the United States.
People are that sick of Washington.
Cruz is surging!!!
Just wait ‘til Glenn Beck campaigns with Raphael - then the real surge begins!
This is CNN TV’s lead story at the top of the hour.
