Donald Trump has 2-point lead over Ted Cruz in Iowa: pollWith less than a week to go until the Iowa caucuses, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has a 2-point lead over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in the Hawkeye State, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida holding down third place.
Mr. Trump was at 31 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday, followed by Mr. Cruz at 29 percent and Mr. Rubio at 13 percent, with nobody else above 7 percent.
“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.
A Jan. 11 Quinnipiac survey had Mr. Trump with the same 2-point, 31 percent to 29 percent lead over Mr. Cruz, with Mr. Rubio at 15 percent.
