Are the tides finally turning? Has Donald Trump, who just today suggested that we should ban all travel to America by Muslims (a tough thing to enact when you think about it), been bested in a primary state?
According to Monmouth University, polling on the Republican Presidential race in Iowa, Ted Cruz has overtaken the Donald by five points, besting Trump by five points among likely caucus voters.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has overtaken businessman Donald Trump in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in Iowa, a new poll from Monmouth University shows.
Cruz gets 24 percent support among likely Republican caucus goers, a significant lead over Trump's 19 percent. His fellow senator Marco Rubio of Florida comes in third with 17 percent support, and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson nets 13 percent support.
CNN is reporting a closer result, with Trump and Cruz running neck-and-neck, with the former leading slightly, though in the margin of error.

Yup. See my post # 20.
Masterful deconstruction by Sundance. Conservative Treehouse, second only to Free Republic, IMO.
Monmouth is dubious. They have a history of odd polling. Believe it or not,CNNs poll had Trump 33 Cruz 20 in Iowa today. One of those is off
This fraudster will have Christie ahead in two weeks .
Pure left wing media propaganda from the lefty pollster who twitters his min stop hate of Trump p>

The media always play games with polls. Every poll is invalid in general although some touch the truth on occasion by ‘the luck of the draw’. The only validity found in today’s polls is when a candidate drops from double digits to low single digits, that’s a valid telltale sign of a true flameout.
Agreed! Spending more time there lately...
