Just my hunch, but I think Cruz has hit his high point in IA at about 25-27, and will stabilize and even come down a tad. I don't think he'll ever fall below 20, which is his natural constituency + Carsonites.
Yeah, nobody likes the guy who is almost 30 points higher than the guy everybody supposedly likes.
Cruz is positioned as the most conservative candidate in the race. Although Trump gets all the attention for his over-the-top statements, Cruz has staked out a position on the far right on virtually every major hot-button issue, including immigration, Obamacare, national security and the fight against the Islamic State militant group. And, tonally, Cruz comes across as aggressively and unapologetically conservative - a less controversial and more electable version of real estate magnate Trump.
Cruz has begun his ascent in the early state and national polls at just about the right time. (The race will go into deep freeze from around next week through the beginning of 2016.) His campaign is perfectly positioned to make him the last man standing. Believe it.
The reason why Trump is doing so well is because he is on the right of Cruz on borders and immigration. Believe it. That’s why he is more than double any other candidate nationally. And yes, I know there is no national primary, but those people live in the states.
That face! LOL
I would define “big way” as in 5-10+ plus in national polls.
I disagree in Iowa, I think he continues to move up (possibly even to 50%?).
We’ll see.
Thanks for your comments.
Voting for Rubio would be like voting for a democrat.
