Cruz makes his move in Iowa
Just before the Thanksgiving pause in the 2016
presidential race, a new Quinnipiac poll shows Donald Trump (at 25%) and
Ted Cruz (at 23%) at the top among likely Republican Iowa caucus-goers,
per a brand-new Quinnipiac poll.
They're followed by Ben Carson (at 18%), Marco Rubio (13%), Rand Paul
(5%), and Jeb Bush (at 4%). That's a big jump for Cruz, who was at just
10% in last month's Quinnipiac Iowa poll. And it's a significant decline
for Carson, who led that October Iowa poll at 28%. While it's just one
poll, it does give us a good indication of where things stand in the
Republican race about two months out before the Iowa and New Hampshire
contests: Trump is back in front; Cruz is gaining ground; Carson is
losing ground; Rubio remains in double digits; and Bush is stuck in
single digits. Gobble, gobble.
