Donald Trump is maintaining a commanding 2-1 lead in the latest poll of GOP caucus goers in Iowa, and his only rival in double digits is another political novice, Dr. Ben Carson.
Former frontrunner FL Gov. Jeb Bush has tumbled into eighth place despite his $100-million bankroll.
In a Gravis Marketing poll of 507 Iowa Republicans conducted last Friday and Saturday, Trump has 31.7 percent to Carsons 15.8 and Bushs 4.1 percent. A Monmouth University poll released yesterday had showed Trump and Carson running neck and neck with 23 percent much to the excitement of the GOP establishment, including Fox News Channel.
But todays Gravis poll seems more in line with other recent surveys in the Hawkeye State, where the first caucuses of 2016 will be held five months from today on Feb. 1.
Trump is dominant across almost all demographic groups, leading Carson and Cruz among Hispanics with 29 percent. He also won a plurality among GOP voters who described themselves as both pro-life and pro-choice, those in the 18-49 age group, and Republicans declaring themselves moderate or slightly liberal.
Among Roman Catholics in Iowa, the Presbyterian Trump polls 40 percent to 11 percent for Carson. Bush, a Catholic convert who often claims to be guided by his faith, polled at 0.8 percent among his coreligionists.

Bush is done here in Iowa.
Staff is gone; except for one unpaid person
YES. An outlier. I just hope it made Dr Carson feel good.
I know it gave MSM tingles up or down their respective legs.
Is this an old poll? Reason I ask is b/c it’s not showing up anywhere on internet besides Breitbart and here
Yep
“Theoldmarine” made a specific declaration about how the poll numbers were calculated. I’ve been around FR long enough so I have “trip wires” for GOPe trolls here. (There are plenty.)
And they are the 21st century equivalent of Cold War disinfo agents.
Thanks SonTagged...
Many Super Pacs, funded by groups that want total control over their candidate, are being formed to attack Trump. Remember when u see them— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2015
;) You pointed out the motive for all this poll rigamarole: damaging Trump by whatever means.
Tweet tweet...
= :^)
That seems a strong possibility.
Thanks for the not of agreement.
Released today.
thanks
Smart. Even if Trump did falter (which I don’t see happening) the then new GOP standard bearer will have to have a spine dropping all the wishy washy and mamby pamby forever. No matter what happens after that, we can all thank Trump for showing these men how to finally, be men.
jebBlue!
And he don't give a sh!t...
Speaking of a kick in the stomach, how would you like to be Jebbie Bush these days? He thought he would be the frontrunner but now he's down there in the weeds with Chris Christie and Rick Perry.
How'd you like to be one of the financial backers who have already dumped some $120 million into his "campaign" so far?
After Jeb's perfomance, they are probably not taking his phone calls...and the money is still in their bank accounts.
Thanks again :-)
Yur most welcome!
