I know a good number of them are scraping the bottom of society's barrel, and have probably never voted before and may not even be registered or know what a caucus is. But if more than half of his support shows up he'll still be a contender.

I used to think that. But more and more I don't know. I don't see what they all see in him. It really bothers me. But there's obviously a lot of enthusiasm there.

Can't you just show up at the caucus and register there in Iowa?
 
Overwhelming "yes" for term limits, too. Because:

Ron got 27% and a technical win in ames 2012 and ended up getting about 22% in the caucus. So, rand has core support of 15% at least! I'd say it's plausible! :)

The real Iowa Straw Poll was cancelled this time around. This has no relation to it. Online polls have terrible reliability issues. Ron Paul would have swept a similar poll in 2012.

Ding, dong, the Iowa Straw Poll is now dead

A decades-old Iowa tradition came to an end as the Iowa Republican Party voted to end the straw poll in a conference call Friday morning.

"I've said since December that we would only hold a straw poll if the candidates wanted one, and this year that is just not the case. For that reason I called a special meeting to update the State Central Committee, which then voted unanimously this morning to cancel the event," party chair Jeff Kaufmann said in a statement.


Presidential contenders, including Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum, have said they won't spend money to compete in the event, which traditionally occurs at the end of the summer and is meant to raise money for the state party and begin to winnow down the presidential field.

The poll has been under scrutiny for its poor job of reflecting the actual presidential preferences of the party.

Iowa's first straw poll took place in 1979 in Ames, Iowa. Either the first or second place winner has always gone on to win the Iowa caucus, with the exception of fourth-place finisher Rick Santorum in 2011. Michele Bachmann won that year, but her support in the state dropped dramatically almost immediately afterward.

More at link.

On this "poll":

http://kimt.com/2015/12/29/candidates-rave-over-online-iowa-straw-poll/
Recently, a group referred to as the “Term Limit Campaign” partnered to create what their calling the first all-inclusive Iowa Straw Poll, by giving all Iowa residents the ability to vote for the candidate of their choosing.

The process is as simple as a few clicks with results to be posted soon, but for the first time Iowans can vote for Democrats and Republicans.

“This is open to all Iowans, not just as a Republican or Democrat or even Independent. We have a unique technology company that is supporting it, so it’s really a straw poll putting together all the people instead of just a small group,” said Max Linn, Director of the Term Limit Campaign.

The third question posed to voters deals with the overall mission of the group leading the new poll. Voters are asked if they are in support of the campaigns efforts to amend the Constitution to not allow congressional leaders to serve in office for more than eight years in either the Senate or the House.

If the goal is to scare them away from Trump, have a mass of Mexicans ostentatiously protesting FOR Trump.

It is not a random poll of all Iowa voters- just a poll of online users who visit that particular site and take the time to vote on it. It is "click bait" to promote their issue of term limitations. I do not live in Iowa and was just able to participate in the poll (try it yourself).

Telling them that "The Apprentice is coming back on TV that night and Trump wants his voters to stay home and watch so that he gets a big ratings boost?
