Quinnipiac Poll (1 February 2016): First-Timers Put Trump Ahead In Iowa GOP Caucus (31-24)
Quinnipiac University ^ | 1 February 2016

Posted on 02/01/2016 5:53:47 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Fueled by a big lead among first-time Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants, Donald Trump jumps to a 31 - 24 percent lead over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has 17 percent, with Dr. Ben Carson at 8 percent and no other candidate above 4 percent.

This compares to results of a January 26 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University showing Trump at 31 percent, Cruz at 29 percent and Rubio at 13 percent.

Today, 3 percent are undecided and 28 percent of those who name a candidate say they still might change their mind.

Also relying on first-time Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has 49 percent, with 46 percent for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 3 percent for former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. Only 2 percent remain undecided and 14 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.

The key for both Trump and Sanders is first-time caucus goers:

Trump leads Cruz 40 - 22 percent among these first-timers, while Republicans who attended prior caucuses go 26 percent for Cruz and 25 percent for Trump;

Sanders tops Clinton 62 - 35 percent among Democratic first-timers, while Clinton leads 52 - 41 percent among voters who attended prior caucuses;

44 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats say this is their first caucus.

I think Trumps going to win by a huge margin. I also think Sanders will win by a huge margin. Hillary doesn’t get it...people don’t trust her. Of course, her sheep will always follow her.

I predict: Trump over Cruz by 7 points in Iowa.

"I also think Sanders will win by a huge margin."

This by far the most important outcome. He rolls her in Iowa and NH and Cankles is fighting from behind just like 2008 - something she really sucks at. And no Operation Chaos from Limbaugh to help her this time...
