Michigan: IMP/Target Insyght Poll: Trump Holds 14-Point Lead in GOP Primary After Iowa
IMP/Target Insyght ^ | 2/5/2016 | IMP/Target Insyght Poll

Posted on 02/07/2016 5:11:58 PM PST by usafa92

Donald Trump has a 14-point lead in the eight-way Michigan GOP primary, according to a poll done after the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses.

Trump is at 35%, while Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio had 21% apiece in an automated survey for Inside Michigan Politics and Target Insyght. John Kasich had 6% and Ben Carson received 5%. Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina each had 3%. And 4% are undecided.

Unlike in the Iowa contest, Trump won evangelical voters in the Michigan survey. Trump had 35% to Cruz's 25% and Rubio's 19%.

"Rumors of Trump's demise have been greatly exaggerated," said Susan J. Demas, Editor and Publisher of Inside Michigan Politics. "As much as people hoped he would fade away after his disappointing second-place finish in Iowa, Trump still holds a double-digit lead in Michigan over his nearest rivals, Cruz and Rubio. Although there's about a month before the March 8 primary, the Republican establishment has to be concerned that Trump has the most committed voters of any candidate, with 77%"

All polling now should just poll Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Bush, because those are the ones who are most likely going to be left after NH. It will make the polling easier, and give us a better idea of where the remaining candidates stand.

Seriously? Many of the 2nd place finishers in Iowa went on to win the nomination. Ronald Reagan among them.

Basically a three-way tie coming out of Iowa. Cruz, Trump and Rubio.

Wait, has Louis Farrakhan switched from 19 to the arch-Jesish number 14?

If you think Michiganders will vote for someone from Ohio you are very sadly mistaken.
