The new Quinnipiac University Iowa poll released today finds that Cruz has doubled his lead over Trump among the critical Evangelical voters. Cruz now leads Trump among Iowa Evangelicals by 12 points - 39 percent to 27 percent. The Iowa Republican Caucus is a two-man race with Trump at 31 percent and Cruz at 29 percent among likely Republican Caucus participants. Marco Rubio is at 13 percent. No other candidate is above 7 percent.
Cruz leads Trump:
50 - 34 percent among self-professed Tea Party members;
49 - 29 percent among voters describing themselves as "very conservative."
Trump leads Cruz:
29 - 21 percent among self-identified "somewhat conservative" voters;
37 - 6 percent among voters claiming to be "moderate" or "liberal."
The new poll is virtually unchanged from the January 11 Quinnipiac poll which found Trump at 31 percent, with 29 percent for Cruz and 15 percent for Rubio.
Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, "Despite Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump and Gov. Terry Branstad's criticism of Sen. Ted Cruz, and despite - or because of - Sen. Cruz' 'New York values' comments, the Iowa Republican Caucus remains too close to call. Other interesting findings from the new Iowa poll include:
- Two percent are undecided and 39 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.
- Among Iowa Republican Caucus-goers, 24 percent say they "would definitely not support" Trump, with 24 percent who would not support former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Only 12 percent say 'no way' to Cruz.
The Quinnipiac poll stands in stark contrast to national polls. The big takeaway from the new NBC Survey Monkey poll is that Evangelicals, at least according to Politico, are flocking to Trump. The latest NBC News/Survey Monkey weekly online tracking poll out today finds that Donald Trump now leads Sen. Ted Cruz among white evangelical Republican voters by 17 points - 37 percent to 20 percent. That's nine point drop for Cruz from last week among this demographic. Carson and Rubio are nearly tied in this group - 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively.
Otherwise the tracking poll shows that the race remains fairly stable. Trump still leads the Republican field, with 39 percent support among Republican and Republican-leaning voters. Cruz has 17 percent support, dropping four points from last week. Rubio has 10 percent support, while Carson and Bush hold unchanged from last week with 8 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Last week the poll found Trump at 38 percent among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, Ted Cruz at 21 percent, Marco Rubio at 11 percent and Ben Carson at 8 percent - all essentially unchanged from the previous week.
Another national poll, the new CNN/ORC poll, also finds the race stable with Trump leading by a two-to-one margin. Trump leads the CNN poll with 41 percent. Cruz is at 19 percent and no other candidate hit double-digits. According to CNN, the race remains fairly stable compared with where it was in the most recent CNN/ORC poll in late December. In that poll, Trump led with 39 percent, with Cruz at 18 percent and Rubio at 10 percent.
That’s odd Morning Joe were quoting polling information this morning that Trump is winning with Evangelicals in Iowa.
I’ll be glad when Iowa is over along with the Evangelical voter.
It’s a BEAUTIFUL THING to behold.....America is waking up.
Your paragraph makes it seem like the Cruz voters are in the front of the line. :-)

Worth repeating:
“Cruz now leads Trump among Iowa Evangelicals by 12 points - 39 percent to 27 percent.”
Good point
I think that poll was Evangelicals, nationwideAre the Evangelicals in Iowa somehow different than anywhere else.
All this phony Evangelical hype is because a few cycles ago someone made the excuse for the Republican's loss was because the Evangelicals stayed home.
They had to blame it on a group because the real reason was Republicans of every group/box stayed home for the same reason they always have...The phony candidate(s) they try ramming down our throats.
Abortion, abortion, abortion is beating a dead horse that no president can affect. Gay marriage is a done deal (not that any President can do anything about that either).
That leaves security, illegal immigration, and prosperity. Take a guess who is #1 on those issues.
Pat Caddell is going to be right about the increase turnout part. I give it better than a 95% chance that Iowa caucus will get more than their usual 120K. I expect the total Iowa turnout will reach to 200,000 because of Trump.
I think Jerry Falwell Jr might have something to say about that. :-)
Maybe Katrina Pierson will send that news around in her own interminable and creative way.

LOL! Bitter much?
: )
“Too bad,” no Jeff Sessions endorsement, you’ll have to settle for Jerry Falwell, Jr.
= )
Maybe not. Rush said a little while ago that there is a whisper rumor going around Sessions is going to endorse Trump. Not as good as Glenn the Loon Beck of course. LOL!
I don’t think that Glenn Beck is any loonier than at least 50% of Trump supporters. Beside you guys have Michael Savage, the looniest of all.
LOL! Glenn Beck is as crazy as a chit house mouse.
bump to the top
Rush wasn’t in the loop, I guess...
: )
..on Sessions..
...but Rush did get an earful about Trump wanting to work deals with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (soon to be Trump’s good buddy, Chuckie Schumer).
Poll FReep: If the election were held today, who would be your first choice for President of the United States?
