With just over a week until the first 2016 election contest, Donald Trump takes the lead in Iowa -- and maintains his big advantage in New Hampshire.
That’s according to the latest round of Fox News state polls on the Republican presidential nomination contest.
Trump bests Ted Cruz in Iowa and now receives 34 percent support among Republican caucus-goers. Cruz is second with 23 percent -- down a touch from 27 percent. Marco Rubio comes in third with 12 percent, down from 15 percent. No others garner double-digit support.

Yes, but that doesn’t make me a bad person, does it?
I do think when Beck endorsed Cruz the poll numbers dropped for him.
Beck is so shady - Cruz should have had better judgement.
The bounce? Likely the Palin effect. Most of it anyway.
Exactly. A man of action.
He's the one that went out on a limb. He's the one that made the case to people in a straightforward way that could be understood. He was clear. "We're going to build a wall." "I'm going to destroy ISIS." "We have stupid people making bad deals." "I'm funding myself; I don't owe anybody."
The rest of the crowd just let him go; thinking the support would crater. They were wrong. At least so far. But I think it is getting way late for anyone else to make a credible case.
He is attracting new people to the Republican party. People who really should have become Republican years ago, except for the fact that we offered candidates who gave them little reason to switch.
Fox has an agenda against Cruz, but nevertheless even in their poll it shows when they asked only Caucus goers of 4 years ago, different story.
Fox new national Poll shows no change between Trump and Cruz, Trump only up by 14, yet they want us to believe a huge swing in IOWA.
Dont forget 2 local polls finds Cruz up by 3, and Trump up by 1.
The only question is will the polls that show Trump up by good margin, determine how Iowans vote? That is the hope of the pollsters and their clients.
Hey people we thought once reasonable at FR have been persuaded to check their brains and so called values at the door for Trump, so we shall see.
Thank you for providing an example of what I describe.
No, it actually makes me admire you.

Interesting.
This is the first thread I’ve seen in a while where the personal attacks seem to have calmed down a bit. Hope it’s not just my imagination.
It even has a humorous post from Laz and a humorous pic of Yeb! getting the boot.
It might be simply that the snow kept the paid disruptors off the net this morning. Or, just maybe, civilized discourse is sneaking back to FR.
Canadian voters will not be able to vote in the 2016 election.
Wow! That is totally arrogant.
That is based on a shaky assumption, that there is a serious challenger. Name one!
Don’t vet now, so that Hillary had field day. Really !!!
Some of that increase in Trump’s numbers is due to Palin’s endorsement, and some of the decrease in Cruz’ numbers is probably due to loony Beck.
Grampa Munster, not Count Dracula. Haha.
This poll is wonderful news and what I expected for a month or so that Trump would surge 5-10% over Cruz and if Trump gets a huge turnout he could win in a crushing landslide.
Having said this let’s listen to Trump the leader who has said this over and over again. “I never take anything for granted.”
This is great news but we have to fight for every last vote until the win is declared. Another Trump saying is that “if you do not win you have wasted your time!” We have not won yet so there is a lot of work to do and until we have won we have nothing.
He’s not going to win. What was posted may not be true. He’s done and will likely do good things.
No need to pull this crap, no need to approve of it.
Untold story: When both 1st and 2nd choices are combined it’s 48% Trump and 45% Cruz.

That is irrelevant because many Trump supporters have Cruz as their second and vise versa.
So Trump would have to drop out for the second choice to come into play and that is very unlikely.
You can’t draw any conclusions from second choice.
I don’t think the Beck endorsement has affected these numbers, but it plays into a negative narrative for Cruz leading into the final week of the Iowa campaign.
Cruz needs a big, big, big win at the debate, and my guess is Trump is going to try and clinch and eek out a draw at worst.
Cruz is in big trouble here. He needs a big poll from DM Register/Bloomberg to help him regain all he’s lost since the New York Values debate.
Grandpa was likeable and if he ran for Senator after Munsters, I bet he could have got one of his colleagues to second him, ever!
