The Magnificent Seven
A new Monmouth University Poll of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers finds that Donald Trump leads the GOP field with 30%, followed by Ted Cruz at 23%, Marco Rubio at 16% and Ben Carson at 10%.
Key finding: “Cruz’s support has basically held steady since his 24% showing in December when he led the field, while Trump’s support has grown substantially from 19% last month. The current result is Trump’s
best showing in any Monmouth Iowa caucus poll since he entered the race.”
