Donald Trump has dropped 9 points in a national poll following his loss in the Iowa caucuses according to a new survey that will be released Thursday, Business Insider reported.
Trump still takes the first spot but received only 25 percent of the vote from Republican primary voters, according to a Public Policy Polling survey.
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio both received 21 percent of the vote, putting them in second place. Ben Carson took 11 percent.
In a previous Public Policy Polling national survey released in December, Trump held a double-digit lead with 34 percent of the vote. His closest competitor, Cruz, followed with only 18 percent and Rubio took third with 13 percent.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnât make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

28% think Cruz is a Canadian. That is going to stick throughout the campaign.
Rubio is a backstabbing amnesty weasel who will have voters staying home in droves.
Yessir, could not be working out better for the Democrats.

Looks like Rubio will win the nomination. Another great victory for R wing of the uniparty. Thanks a lot Cruz. We had one chance to save the party from the Marxist globalist by electing Trump and Ted Cruz ruined our one chance. Well back in 1999 and 2000 I warned every I could about W, no one listened. Same thing happening again. Oh well enjoy watching the destruction of our republic yall made it happen.

This is who he is. He never had a game other than personal attack and that’s what he’ll do.
Rubio is the new Bush. If we splice the names together we get Rubish.

Those 21% sticking with foreign born Cruz, have no problem with career politician Cruz, spreading lies about Carson leaving the race. I always thought people carrying bibles were truth tellers and were forbidden by the bible to tell lies. There is contradiction in case of senator Cruz.

28% think Cruz is a Canadian. Thanks in large part to Trump.
So I should vote for Trump, not for his background which is liberal until he began prepping for this run, but because Trump inundated social media with a rumor to trash Cruz, even though states' election boards (you know, someone with standing) are beginning to confirm there is no eligibility issue.
