Rand has not hit 7% in a long time.
Seriously how did we get 7 in this poll lol????
I don't see first names in the OP... maybe those elderly voters think Ron is running? Or maybe Ron's campaigning is helping with the older folks who supported him in 2008 and 2012?
“Trump has done an excellent job of motivating non-traditional Republicans and people who don’t typically vote to support him and attend his rallies. However, our poll has shown – twice now – that he is not the leading candidate among people who are the most likely to go out on caucus night,” Andersen said. “Trump probably has more supporters than other Republican candidates overall in Iowa, but if those supporters don’t show up to caucus it just won’t matter. It is not just popularity that wins the caucus; it is turning out your supporters.”
Can anyone find a reason why this poll wouldn't count lol? The demographics are horrible (but so are Monmouth, etc.). It IS live phone interview and here is other explanation = Faculty in the Department of Political Science, the Department of Statistics, and the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication are collaborating on the Iowa Caucus Poll. Those departments, plus ISU’s Office of the Vice President for Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, as well as WHO-HD, are funding the research.
Exit/entrance polls from 2012 IA caucus (source):
Age:
>50 = 60%
30-50 = 24%
<30 = 15%
Men 57%
Women 43%
So, relative actual voter demographics from 2012, this poll under-represents men and young people.
...the very groups Rand polls best with.
And yet he still got 7%, 5th place.

WTF it took them 2 months to release? Fox definitely will not include this one.
WHO-HD, the NBC affiliate in Des Moines, conducted the first wave of polling from Nov. 2-15. All 722 respondents in this second wave were surveyed in November.

That was a separate result. They try to use most of the same people though I think. This poll was done in January only.
