Could some of these Iowans be for Jebbie and are just keeping quiet, hoping to score a big surprise.
What I posted was for IA...
Sure they are...
Cruz - Trump
50 -34 Tea Party
39 -27 Evangelical
49 -29 Very Conservative
21 -29 somewhat conservative
6 -31 liberal
But we see nationwide Trump blowing the competition away.
Don’t like the results of this poll?
Wait 5 minutes and another showing different results will be available.

Yeah but they won’t go to the polls in Iowa for the charlatan Trump. Ted been to every diner in all 99 precincts. Just wait for the shocker.
Do you own stock in spam? If not you should.

The territory occupied by Christians today should be considered spoils, not dominion, in a spiritual sense. The point at which the world becomes officially ruled by Christ to the point that the devil is completely ousted, is yet to come in eschatology. To be fair, this is Ted’s father’s wishes. It would help if Ted would clarify his own position here, but he might fear to do it because of fear of offending his father.
Trump wins by 5-10% over Cruz in Iowa. Maybe more depending on turn out.
The definition of an evangelical is a highly debated topic, even among self-professed evangelicals. I highly doubt that Politico or whoever conducted this poll has any understanding of just how meaningless the term can be.
Paztor Jeffress from Texas ~endorsed trump yesterday. Big time southern Baptist evangelical. He said the issue is winning. He thinks trump will still be standing at the end of all this.
If polling were scientific, then people would not be allowed to specify what they thought they were. They would be classified by what they presented themselves to be.
If a census worker came by my house and asked me 'What is your nation of origin?' and I said 'I feel like I'm from Guatemala' I'm hoping they would just chuckle and write 'U.S.A.' on their form.
That’s one way to look at it... he’s the political strong horse, and he isn’t unfriendly to Christians in general, at least not now. He seems to want to make nice, which could mean the Lord is nudging him in that direction.
A Trump coalition is going to have to include input into Trump’s “deal” however, if we don’t want to have a lot of unicorn hair left in his agenda. I appreciate that he is willing to be flexible, but therein lies a danger. We can’t be lazy.
As an evangelical, I can tell you this: I have more problems in my church dealing with Ben Carson supporters than Donald Trump supporters.
That’s because there aren’t any Trump supporters in my Bible-believing, conservative church. At least none who will admit it.
Not very much play here about Trumps Sunday visit to a liberal anti Christian, pro abortion, pro gay marriage Mainline Presbyterian Church in Iowa.
I have seen little coverage of it anywhere.
Trump’s outreach to Evangelicals was his choice for a church on Sunday. The event was described by political reporters as an outreach to Iowas Evangelicals.
However, Muscataine’s First Presbyterian Church belongs to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denomination, a liberal Mainline, not Evangelical, denomination that supports same-sex marriage.
Maybe those evangelicals aren’t fond of the Dominionist cult.
This is definitely not his dad’s Presbyterian church, which would have been aghast at such things. It’s kind of like the way Blue Dogs remain Democrat even while their national party slides further left than anything they would countenance. How about more conservative Presbyterian denominations, have they tried reaching out to Trump, saying that this is where you want to be? Seems to me they ought to.
But what CHANCE does Sen. Cruz have either?
