Among Iowa Republican Caucus-goers, 24 percent say they "would definitely not support" Trump, with 24 percent who would not support former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Only 12 percent say 'no way' to Cruz.
"Despite Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump and Gov. Terry Branstad's criticism of Sen. Ted Cruz, and despite - or because of - Sen. Cruz' 'New York values' comments, the Iowa Republican Caucus remains too close to call," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"One week before the caucuses gather, the question is which candidate has the best field organization. If the events of the last two weeks haven't moved the needle, one wonders what would change it in the next six days."
"It all comes down to turnout. And with four in 10 likely caucus participants saying they still might change their mind, this is an especially volatile race," Brown added.
"One thing is increasingly evident, the conservative wing of the Republican party, at least in Iowa, is carrying the day," Brown added.
Cruz is taking the lion's share of the right wing among Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants, with Trump taking a good chunk and only a few scraps for the rest of the pack.
Wow, that’s just disingenuous. The lead paragraphs of the poll show that things in the Q poll are “unchanged” since their earlier poll with TRUMP IN THE LEAD 31-29.
But your post here doesn’t even mention that. Shame.

These guys can say what the wish -— only the actual caucus votes count. We shall see.
But, but, but I thought Trump was the ONLY one who can win. I though Trump was going to take NY and MA???? Going to be hard to do when 24% of your own party would never vote for you.
Trump is a sure loser in the general election.
If you don’t win the nomination, you don’t get to the general.
Cruz is in a solid, albeit distant, second place.
Unfortunately, our choice is between an adulterous crank who is pledging to work with Nancy Pelosi and a constitutionally ineligible globalist beta-male with no leadership abilities.
What an election.
Think I’ll just stay home.
The poll is here at RCP for those who wish to see the entire story and not the cherry picked items from the poster:
Why do you use leftist tactics to misrepresent what the polls actually say?
Poor you. Glenn Beck on a bad day?
Does Cruz even know he attracts transparent hacks, proved by thread posts like this one.
Where is the polling outcome here, with TRUMP up by 2?
Dirty tricksters and David Brock wannabees have to operate dirty and tricky.
