Donald Trump has a five-point lead on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in what is likely to be the final major poll before the Iowa caucuses, while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are virtually tied.
The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll gives the billionaire businessman 28% of likely GOP caucus-goers, with Cruz at 23%. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida trails at 15%, with Ben Carson further back at 10%.
On the Democratic side, Clinton holds a narrow lead over Sanders, 45% to 42%.
The margin of error for results on both sides is 4 percentage points.
This is the first time Trump, the nationwide GOP front-runner, has held a lead in a Bloomberg Politics/Register poll. In other recent Iowa surveys, he has been above 30%. For Cruz, however, the poll is down a bit from where he stood in most December and early January polling.

A dead heat between Trump and Cruz. It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.
If you listen to the best pollsters they readily admit they have no means to project caucus results.
At this point, it looks like both parties are going to come down to organization.
As my dad would say:
I think I’ll take a nap.
I think I’ll take another nap.
I hate the political season. Oh wait, I live in Va., the political season never stops: yearly elections in a never-ending cycle.
What I would give to have jut a few months of peace without political ads or volunteers knocking on the door.
The polls try to be as accurate as possible in their final poll. Up to that time they’re trying to influence the race.
Somehow, I don’t think so. Whoever wins will do so with a razor thin margin. imo.
Sound and Fury signifying nothing
Trump wins
Wouldn’t call 5% a dead heat.
the margin of error is 4%, yes it is a dead heat.
We shall see.
not soon enough.
And now your neighbors all know!
After tomorrow night our phone will stop ringing 50 - 60 times a day.
Does anybody have any idea about what time we will know results tomorrow?
