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....

Rubio is likely not even going to a blip on the radar by Minnesota. LOL!
This year its GWs compass and Ted Cruz is George Washington. LOL!
That’s what I was thinking, not the same thing, Texas votes on March 1 .as I recall it is already decided by the time we get to vote. Why can’t all the states vote on the same day?
LOL! Yeh you keep clinging to that dream. :-)
Rubio will be winless by time Minn comes along. Guess the state of Minn will be his firewall.
Ricky Ricardo Rubio needs to worry about his homestate of Florida where he trails Trump by 37 and 23 points in the latest polls.
2 good Iowa polls came out for Cruz on the same day as the last CNN Iowa poll. So this one is only a outlier if you dismiss the other 2.
Not to mention that The Bad cnn poll for Cruz also had a good number at the bottom if they asked only people that attended in 08. Cruz up by 2 or 3
and finally a CBS poll only has Cruz down by 5, keep in mind the margin of error is 5 for most of these.

Thanks for the summary. The CNN poll might be a Trump push poll.
The new ISU/WHO-HD poll was compiled through phone interviews with 722 registered voters Jan. 5-22.
This poll is nonsense it was conducted over a 17 DAY PERIOD.
Thanks for the heads up on the alt site.
OK so no doubt you also dismiss the 2 polls that came out same day as the cnn poll, yes all from Iowa, one had Cruz up by 2 or 3 and the other had Trump up by 1.
CBS poll has Trump up by 5, within the 5 point margin of error

“Don Trump is a âformerâ Democrat, isnât he?”
As was Ronald Reagan.
