Fifth poll shows Trump leading in Iowa.
Posted on | January 21, 2016 | No Comments
According to a Loras College survey released Thursday, Trump takes 26 percent support over Cruz’s 25 percent.
The senator from Texas held a healthy lead in the mid-December version of the poll, with 30 percent support then to Trump’s 23 percent. Around the same time, Cruz overtook Trump in the RealClearPolitics average of Iowa polls, but Trump has regained the top spot a month later, holding a slim 2.2 percentage point advantage.
Cruz, who in his short time in Washington has made countless enemies, has been under constant assault from rivals and critics since his rise to the top of the primary polls, potentially contributing to his month-over-month decline in Iowa.
Pro-ethanol groups have been hammering Cruz for his opposition to the Renewable Fuel Standard, and this week Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R), who has not endorsed a candidate, made the surprising move of urging caucusgoers to back anyone but Cruz.
