Poll: Cruz up 10 over Trump in Iowa
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 12, 2015 | Curt Mills

Ted Cruz has opened up a firm lead over rival Donald Trump in first-in-the-nation state Iowa, 31 to 21, according to a new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll released Saturday.

The poll is closely watched by political analysts who consider it a reliable measure of Iowa caucus voters.....

Cruz's ascension represents the largest spike for one candidate between Des Moines Register polls in at least the last five presidential elections.

Though fifth overall, Jeb Bush records the highest negative ratings in the poll, with 54 percent of likely Caucus-goers disapproving of him....

CONCORD, N.H. - Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is confident he will be on the primetime Republican debate stage Tuesday, but if he falls short, he will make an announcement this week about what comes next.

Asked Saturday by the Globe specifically if he would drop out of the race for president if he didn't qualify for the main-stage GOP debate, Paul said: "We will make an announcement, on that, on Tuesday." - Source

After spending beaucoup dinero Bush’s numbers are embarrassing.

If I were Bush I’d pay the family doc to say I had a serious, but curable, disease and drop out for health reasons, don’t ya know.

Old news.

This is the same polling firm that had Santorum polling at 6% just before he won the last Iowa caucus.

Yea Iowa is a strange state-— first it was Huckabee then Carson— and in between it has been Trump, now it is Cruz....I think Santorum won last election cycle... It wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up winning again in Iowa.. haha

Trump’s supporters have agreed to let Cruz be Trump’s Vice President. Very generous.

Donald warned us about the Des Moines Register this morning:

Is he psychic? Did he have advance warning? It will be interesting to see the polls over the next week.

And, despite chatter to the contrary, the polling firm Selzer & Company gets very high marks from the guys at FiveThirtyEight.

Rapidly changing snapshots should make this a very interesting primary season.

Of course he did - a preemptive strike against bad news for him.

This is the Des Moines Register newspaper retaliating for what Trump said about them and getting massive applause.

Seeing is believing. He called them HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, and very DISHONEST.the crowd totally agreed

Any one caring to hear exactly what Trump said that obviously pissed the Des Moines Register off to no limit.. here it is.
 
Move the video slider to 1:03:10 in and you will see exactly what he says and the HUGE crowd response to it.
 
Two days later their poll shows Trump going from 13 points up to Cruz suddenly jumping 21 points?... I don't think so..

Thank you. That’s great interesting chart.

Just found this:

Average of 3 recent polls puts Cruz up over Trump in Iowa.
