A new NBC/WSJ/Marist poll in Iowa finds Ted Cruz leading the GOP presidential race with 28% among likely voters, followed by Donald Trump at 24%, Marco Rubio at 13% and Ben Carson at 11%. No other Republican candidate gets more than 5% of the vote.
Key finding: “Yet among the larger universe of potential Iowa caucus-goers, Trump actually leads Cruz by two points, 26% to 24%, suggesting that a larger turnout could benefit Trump in the state.”
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton holds just a three-point lead among likely voters over Bernie Sanders, 48% to 45%.
