A new FoxNews poll shows that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% has pulled into a virtual tie with Trump in Iowa, as Carson continues to tumble headlong out of the picture. Trump registers 25% in the poll, followed by 23% for Cruz, 18% for Carson, 13% for Rubio, then the also-rans far behind. It looks an awful lot at this point like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% has to be considered the prohibitive favorite in Iowa – he has a ton of money to spend in a state where spending money can actually do you some good, he is building a ground organization where almost no one else is, and he is capitalizing on Carson’s recent foreign policy follies.
There’s a long way to go before February 1st, but it would be a surprise at this point if anyone other than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% won Iowa.
Now of course, winning Iowa does not make you the favorite to win the nomination, as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum can attest. But it definitely helps. Winning the first contest provides a national boost in a candidates’ poll standing, as Huckabee was catapulted to “last man standing†against McCain and Santorum likewise enjoyed a brief national lead. If Cruz comes into Iowa in third or fourth place and walks away with an unexpectedly easy victory, it can only help his national chances.

That would be great :)
Ted’s the Real Leader and the Real Conservative in this race!
I suspect that this trend will blossom considerably as spring approaches
I would hate to see Trump blurt out some silly insult to Cruz.
I’d love to see Cruz resonate, then see Cruz develop a humor-based, charismatic presentation. He’s got it all...he just needs to be able to win over those who are skeptical or fallen into the view that he’s some evil, meanie. For Cruz to win the general, he would need to be able to use some level of charisma to win over the blue-collar class that would naturally flow to a Clinton. Trump can get that group. If it’s not Trump, the candidate will need to be able to do the same.
It’s all about the ground game and Cruz has it all covered.
He’ll be picking off campaign people from the also-rans like he did with Walker soon enough and leading those lost souls home.
Cruz it or lose it.
I was watching Special Report last night and they kept hyping a story about a candidate that had made a big move in the polls. I kept waiting for the story about Cruz and was floored when they started talking about Rubio. Unbelievable.
He has big donors. I can’t imagine those particular donors not being in favor of amnesty.
The poll is from Quinnipiac University, not Fox News.
I didn’t write the article, I just posted it.
Of course the establishment are a bunch of whiny children that can’t stand someone who stands up for conservative principles. It doesn’t surprise me that FOX News would continue to pimp Rubio with deception.
The open borders big donors are going to Rubio.
Cruz has built the organization, sought relationships, and developed a plan to win. Leadership in action.
Goldman Sachs and The Club for Growth ? Really?
What I know is, Ted will keep his word and I like his immigration policy. So does Trump. He says they agree 100%.

However, consider the source of the article (Redstate). They hate Trump. If the list was Bush, then Cruz, they would spin it, “Bush maintains lead over upstart Cruz who is struggling to peak”.
Trump asked him to be his VP. If he is smart he takes it btw the totals used are a lie? yES A LIE
