AMES, Iowa -- As the candidates make their final push across Iowa, many caucus-goers are still trying to decide which candidate they'll support. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Ted Cruz lead their respective parties, according to a new Iowa State University/WHO-HD Iowa Caucus Poll released Monday. However, there is little room separating them from the next candidate.
On the Democratic side, 47.4 percent of likely caucus-goers surveyed said they support Clinton. That's compared to 45 percent who said they favor Bernie Sanders. This is a significant jump from the first Iowa Caucus Poll in November, in which Sanders came in a distant second at 27.8 percent. Less than 1 percent of those surveyed in this latest poll said they'll caucus for Martin O'Malley.
On the Republican side, 25.8 percent of likely caucus-goers are backing Cruz, while 18.9 percent say they support Donald Trump. Ben Carson came in third (13.4 percent) followed by Marco Rubio (12.3 percent), Rand Paul (6.9 percent), Jeb Bush (3.8 percent), Mike Huckabee (3.7 percent) and Carly Fiorina (1.1 percent). Rick Santorum, Chris Christie and John Kasich registered less than 1 percent....

Yep, just like Reagan....
I hear he’s going to surprise Cruz the day before the caucus by giving him Mitt Romney’s magic underwear.
Lots of bookies make good livings in the US and they have lots of customers. The odds of getting caught must not outweigh the profits in the eyes of many. A person can bet on most anything they care to bet on.
We surmised from his comments that he’s a “former” Paultard.
Yep, and in the main I think it will prove to be shallow. These in the vast majority are fans; spectators, and little more.
Outlier. Even Rush said that he is finally realizing that most polls are pretty close to right. Trump leads by too much in other polls to make one so far off reliable.
Time will tell. Just one more week.
Trump had better think twice about that. He's going to need that magic underwear himself.
Not an outlier; they’re polling different populations. One is polling fans, the other is polling caucus-goers.
Speaking of despicable people, here are a bunch of "FReepers" accusing Jim of being a fraud, and of FR being populated by fake conservatives, as well as comparing Trump to Hitler, Mussolini, etc and Freepers to Nazis:

Are you one of the anonymous commentators?
What is kind of funny about all of this is that whether Trump or Cruz come out on top in Iowa, the difference in the number of delegates will be minimal. In fact, by the time we finish SC I doubt if there will be more than 10-15 delegates difference between Cruz and Trump.
Hence why I say you are a nasty idiot. I've never supported Ron Paul in my life! And where were you "surmising" this with a "we"? Either you are lying, or maybe you're one of the posters badmouthing FR and Jim at a certain website?
Frankly I can’t wait. Raise your hand if you are sick of Iowa?
Nope. I assume you keep throwing stuff on the wall hoping something will stick. But it doesn’t. Carry on..
Ted Cruz back on top! We are in to win it! No retreat, no surrender! Onward to victory!!!
Yes, and I’m also the director of $#*+-stirring at MoveOn.org, and a well-known thespian.
I said you were a detestable person, not a despicable one, but I won't quibble.
Are you one of the anonymous commentators?
I'm not sure what you mean, but all my posts are under my own given Christian and family names. I don't hide behind a screen name.
As for jimrob, I first met him 18 years ago and my last email to him was signed off with the salutation "With great respect and admiration," so, no I don't consider Jim Robinson a fraud. I consider him a patriot and a blessing to everyone here.
Picky, picky.
LOL
In between bundling donations for the Cruz campaign and being a miserable, lonely shut in who tells lies about Freepers on internet forums because he's an angry and miserable person.
First I heard of this poll, wonderful... not to mention 2 good polls for Cruz last week
Fox thinks its their poll or the highway, I find CNN is more fair and balanced lately.
Hey CNN John King cautioned people about their CNN poll of last week, yep the one that showed Trump up 11, he said its difficult to figure out what methodology to use.
More honest than Fox.
So people at Fox and elsewhere are running with the worst numbers for Cruz they can find, and the masses take it in.
