GOP Predicts Big Iowa Turnout

January 30, 2016 · 3:48 pm ET · 21 Comments

The Hill: “GOP strategists expect between 150,000 and 185,000 voters will turn out, according to one senator who reviewed campaign projections. A big turnout would bode well for Trump who is expected to perform strongly among first-time voters.”

“A Monmouth University poll released Wednesday shows Trump with 32-percent support in Iowa compared to 26-percent support for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, his second-place rival, under a scenario in which 200,000 people vote. When the projected turnout drops to 130,000, Trump and Cruz are tied at 26 percent, according to the Monmouth survey.”
