CNN - Whatever New Hampshire saw in Donald Trump, it looks like Iowa is seeing it too.
After taking second place in the latest New Hampshire polls, Trump is also claiming the silver in Iowa -- where he traveled hot off his announcement -- claiming 10% of support among likely caucus-goers, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker continues to lead the Republican field in the Hawkeye state with 18%, while Ben Carson tied with Trump for second. Walker has yet to announce he is running for president, but is expected to launch his campaign this month.
While Walker sits eight points ahead of the field, the rest of the fray of Republican White House hopefuls is tightly packed within the poll's margin of error. Just one point behind Carson and Trump lie Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas. Floridians Jeb Bush, the state's former governor, and Marco Rubio, a senator, trail closely with 8% and 7%, respectively.
Conspicuously missing from the top ranks are the Iowa caucus's last two victors, evangelical favorites Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Huckabee notches 5% to Santorum's 4%.

Yeah, loses his co-host, then his TV backing, then his reality show, and now Macys. If that ain’t unnecessary trouble I don’t know what is. Every time one of these things happen and are announced on TV I just literally laugh out loud about what an idiot he is. Course others love him, believe everything he says and think him incapable of error.
You are really full of it, aren't you?
Are you aware that the first Super Tuesday, on March 1, includes Texas? Which follows only Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
As a consequence, when Florida rolls around, Cruz will likely be the leader in delegates. And he's a good bet to still be in the lead after Florida.
Much as you want him to, Cruz isn't going away...
Second in another national poll. His tv shows were for fun, not money. He has enough money. The left-wing victim machine is organizing against him, and they seem to have your support. Why is that?
Is that all you can whine about? Plenty of conservatives don't trust him and for good reason. Personally I think if he thought it would get him anywhere he'd run to the left of Bernie Sanders.
You seem to be doing the whining on every Trump thread actually. Project much? Did you sign Moveon’s petition yet?
It must be awesome living in fantasyland. Lots of fun but no reality.
Who’s your candidate?
The silver bullet here is to ask him who he’s voting for.
We shall see what we shall see, won’t we?
Anyone but Trump or any Dem.
