Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has regained a solid grip on the lead over the rest of the 2016 GOP pack in Iowa and has large leads in the early states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, according to new polling on the Republican field.
Mr. Trump was at 30 percent in Iowa, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 21 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 19 percent, and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 11 percent, according to the CBS News/YouGov poll.
In a CBS poll taken in October, Mr. Trump and Mr. Carson had been tied at 27 percent apiece, followed by Mr. Cruz at 12 percent and Mr. Rubio at 9 percent.
In New Hampshire, Mr. Trump was at 32 percent, followed by Mr. Rubio at 13 percent, Mr. Carson and Mr. Cruz at 10 percent apiece, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 8 percent.

“21 percent now, next week 22, then 24, 26, 27, 30, 32... right around that time it will be time for the caucuses... then victory! Cruz 2016!”
Keep dreaming. Cruz will never be # 1. He doesn’t have the personality for it. It will be Trump/Cruz 2016.
YUUUGE
BTTT!!
So far only one man has managed to WIN the SC GOP primary and NOT become the GOP nominee.
I’d say Carson didn’t, but I think Cruz does. I think Cruz’s ground game, endorsements and religious bonafides will ultimately have him prevail in Iowa and serve him well in the SEC primary. He did it in Texas, he’ll do it nationally. That momentum will be very hard to best once he starts racking up delegates.
