Ted Cruz cruises past Ben Carson in Iowa - and The Donald is back on top
The London Daily Mail ^ | November 22, 2015 | Nikki Schwab, US Political Reporter

Donald Trump now has a commanding lead in Iowa by nine points

Ben Carson, who was in first place in the state in several polls last month, has dropped to third in the new CBS/YouGov poll

Cruz gets higher marks on presidential readiness than the other top Republicans in the state

Ben Carson is losing ground and Ted Cruz is moving up the ranks to the No. 2 spot, in a new poll out today that shows the preferences of Iowa voters.

In the new CBS/YouGov poll, Cruz has pushed past Carson to take 21 percent of the vote, to Carson's 19, while Donald Trump – who had lost his lead to Carson in poll after poll last month in Iowa – now has a significant lead, earning the support of 30 percent of likely Republican voters.

Support from some of Carson's core constituencies in Iowa – evangelicals, Tea Party supporters, very conservative voters and older voters – is starting to erode, as a majority of very conservative voters have drifted to the Cruz column.....

I’d kinda hate for Cruz or Trump to win Iowa - winning there seems to have been the kiss of death to past Republican candidates.

Best ground game of any in the field. Now that his message is getting out, results.

Cruz it or lose it.

The last two Republicans to win Iowa didn’t have the money or organization to follow through and go on to other states. Cruz does.

” And the Donald is back on top. “

Next move belongs to the CARTEL. They are called the
TRUMP CARD, LLC. Not a PAC. Oh no, but rather an LLC.

A pool of names and secret names, Clinton Foundation style, and both sides of the aisle and of the globe won’t be known, unless particular players want to be known.

FOX will be in the mix to take out Trump, and Soros, and the Clinton globalist donors.

Are we going to let these damp and crawly things get by with this? I wonder who of us lets this stand?

Both Cruz and Trump do. It doesn’t look good for the Establishment team at the moment...unless they can fool the folks with the phony conservative bona fides of the despicable Amnesty pimp Marco Rubio.

Cruz has momentum and is separating himself from the pack and beginning to close the gap on the leader.

The Cruz missile is taking off!

This may be the first election since Wilson where foreign policy and economics are equally ranked.

Yup. Keep at it Cruz! I am proud to root for the conservative in the race. We haven’t had a candidate of his caliber in these elections for a while.

Don’t get too excited, lol. Cruz is still second to Trump by a lot, and all of the other candidates that have landed in 2nd place end up sinking back down in the polls at some point. I can see Cruz staying in 2nd place a long time though, but no one really ever topples Trump from his first place perch where he consistently remains.

You give too much credence to polls. They’re up, they’re down.

I will contain my excitement, and try very hard to become more dejected and depressed, because some Trump fans have said he has this in the bag and everyone else should shut up and go home.

Serious, 'shut up and go home'?

Can you point to one?

That is a good thought. That is what I said to some Trump supporter friends of mine yesterday, when they told me that Cruz was stuck at 6% and going nowhere.
