How Ted Cruz, Donald Trump are trying to dominate Iowa
CNN ^

heir sometimes divergent paths could be seen in the polls. Trump has 33% percent support among likely Republican caucus-goers, with Cruz at 20%, according to Monday's CNN/ORC poll. But a Monmouth University survey that relied only on registered voter rolls has Cruz with the lead: 24% to 19%.

The difference between the polls, Trump State Director Chuck Laudner told CNN, is because the campaign is bringing new voters into the process. Many of their supporters are first-time caucus-goers who aren't necessarily polled. The challenge, of course, is to make sure those would-be voters show up on February 1.

"They can't find our voters. It's always been the case. They can't find these voters, and you know, that brings up the question, are they really going to vote? Okay, that's our burden. But if they can give up three hours on a Saturday afternoon, I think we can get them to give up 45 minutes on a Monday night," Laudner said.

Of course they - and all candidates - are “trying to dominate Iowa” - it’s called an election campaign, in which candidates try to dominate! That’s how they determine the winner, in the end.

Either the Iowa pollsters, or the state, is engaging in the height of fickleness, or just like to stay in the headlines with their “flavor of the week” modus operandi...I don’t know which.

grows with every lie told by his opponents and I do mean flat out reprehensible lies. e.g. Trump hates all immigrants.

Or the one I just read right here on FR: "Trump is trying to send all Muslims out of the country."
