Trump captures the support of 28 percent of likely caucus-goers, compared to 23 percent for Cruz, 15 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and 10 percent for former neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
On the Democratic, the data shows Clinton up over Sanders 45 to 42 percent, with just three percent for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.
The survey from highly-respected pollster Ann Selzer comes just about 48 hours before voters will meet at the state’s 1,681 precincts for Monday night’s caucuses.
The Iowa poll is widely viewed as a “gold standard” in the industry because of its record of accurately predicting past contests. Selzer forsaw Barack Obama’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 caucuses, and she pegged Rick Santorum’s late surge over Mitt Romney in 2012.
The poll was conducted January 26-29, and the margin of error is four percentage points.
LIPA says VOTE FOR RUBIO OR CRUZ DO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP he’s nuts.
DO NOT VOTE FOR CLINTON – she’s just like NoBama
This is great fun.
