Safer to go with the averages. They put Trump ahead, and these 2 polls would indicate it is outside the MOE now. IOW, it’s a real lead.
“Palinâs endorsement will backfire, as it has energized Cruzâs base even more and gotten people like Glenn Beck to campaign with him. You may hate Beck, but he has far more sway than Palin.”
You jest, of course. Keep dreamin....
The Cruz boys are going to need need a new set of kitchen knives to slice and dice these latest results. It was easy to see that Ted’s BIG NY stumble would hurt himâ¦plus an angry Mama Grizzly is on board too. GO TRUMP>>>WIN IOWA!!!!
He is sounding victorious!
Go Trump!
“Trump does not deserve a victory lap until and unless he wins something.”
And that will be soon, my FRiend, very soon.
Trumpâs lead in this poll was +13 the last time it was conducted. Now itâs only +11. Cruz is gaining momentum in Iowa AND New Hampshire. Palinâs endorsement will backfire, as it has energized Cruzâs base even more and gotten people like Glenn Beck to campaign with him. You may hate Beck, but he has far more sway than Palin.

I didn’t think that Establishment support would help Trump.
.. Trump deserves the victory lap despite what he sounds like.
For what? Floating your boat?
For running a campaign full of lies?
If you say so.
When Trump goes on to secure your borders, and defeat ISIS, Iran, N. Korea, etc. I don’t want him to be a gracious winner — I want him to dance, whoop it up, and gloat like crazy. Mainly, I just want him to be a winner.
Trump also knows that a “good loser” is, first and foremost, a loser.
Speaking for the rest of the civilized world (why not? everyone else seems to think they can) Trump is who we need in the Oval Office.
the only place that is true is in Beck’s own mind...and apparently, yours.
Supporters like you turned me and probably alot more against Cruz.
That's worth repeating.
That was just sad.
If Cruz’s base being energized depends on hating Palin and embracing Beck, then you might as well pack it in.
As Rush says all the time - MSM produce polls to drive/create an outcome/narrative, not to report on one.
If you look at all three Iowa polls released today, you have to say one or two is/are an outlier(s), or that no conclusion can be made. I wouldn’t bet on anything - in terms of what the actual situation is on the ground.
Questions that comes to my mind when considering these polls:
What’s changed? Palin? Would that really produce such a huge change this quickly?
Impact of last debate? No clear winner seemed to come out of it.
I almost, and I’m saying almost want him to bang some bongo drums
while smoking a cigar when he wins.
I expected this...
