With just over a week until the first 2016 election contest, Donald Trump takes the lead in Iowa -- and maintains his big advantage in New Hampshire.

That’s according to the latest round of Fox News state polls on the Republican presidential nomination contest.

Trump bests Ted Cruz in Iowa and now receives 34 percent support among Republican caucus-goers. Cruz is second with 23 percent -- down a touch from 27 percent. Marco Rubio comes in third with 12 percent, down from 15 percent. No others garner double-digit support.

lol...nice.

Maybe Cruz needed a third Beck rally?

[Grampa Dave]

Sara versus Beck as a Trump[ supporter will improve the Trump lead.

Waterloo effect. Thanks Beck!

Headline a bit misleading.

You can't gain on something unless you're trying to catch up.

Like Satchel Paige would say: "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

From that poll:

A third of Republican caucus-goers say they may change their mind (33 percent). Even one in four Trump supporters says they may ultimately go with another candidate (25 percent).

Cruz tops the list when GOP caucus-goers are asked their second-choice candidate.

- snip -

Among just those Republicans who have caucused before, it’s a 3-point race: Trump 28 percent vs. Cruz 25 percent. Another 10 percent go for Rubio.

True conservative values is the top characteristic GOP caucus-goers want in their party’s nominee (27 percent), closely followed by telling it like it is (24 percent) and being a strong leader (23 percent). Those traits outrank nominating someone who can win in November (9 percent) or has the right experience (7 percent).

Cruz peaked too early

Inconsistencies between his narrative and his past came out too early.

[PJBankard]

New Trump Poll.

[Eccl 10:2]

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

Trump has a much higher (20%) that refuse to vote for against a democrat than Cruz (11%).

[PJBankard]

The previous FoxNews poll had Cruz leading. So it was a gain.

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe Cruz needs a third, fourth, fifth, sixth Beck rally?

Waterloo III, IV, V, VI!

[tennmountainman]

Yep. He is on a downward trend.

The Beck thing won’t help him either.

[Guenevere]

Praises!

[Kenny]

Well, he couldn’t turn Beck down. I think Cruz was in a bad place for Beck to come on-board though.

[Helicondelta]

Too late Iowa!

Glenn Beck already swore in Rafael as the next president.
