Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump holds an 8-point lead in Iowa, just four days before the first-in-the-nation caucuses there, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released Thursday.

The billionaire businessman secured 31 percent support, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in second, with 23 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), at 14 percent, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, at 9 percent.

Former Govs. Jeb Bush (Fla.) and Mike Huckabee (Ark.), along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), tie for fifth, with 4 percent each.

You mean he goes home to his drop dead gorgeous wife to have passionate sex every night. What better use for a fantastic 757?

he’s young. if he comes in second, that sets him up well for 2024 if he stays in the senate and keeps voting 100 percent conservative.

Two questions:
  1. Any weighting for likely- or first-time- caucus goers?
  2. How do you poll the growing segment of voters who have no landline?
Just wondering.

To paraphrase Ben Kenobi, “This is the poll I was looking for.”

It was inaccurate then. Just as Zogby was, etc. Yet some of these were HIGHLY accurate in earlier years. Every year it’s a different poll that leads the way.

I have said since July that THIS time it appears to be that PPP is really right in the “Sweet spot” of all polls, not too high, not too low. For it to show Trump up 8, well, I think coming on top of three Trump +7 polls, that pretty much sums up where the race is. Moreover, this continues to record (as do most others) that Cruz is in a very slight decline across the board. He peaked three weeks ago.

Just overall a lot of stuff as I said in my freepmail. Too many fires for Ted to put out.

Negative going up? The Glenn Beck effect?

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Plus the positive Sarah Palin effect.
