New Iowa Quinnipiac Poll - Rand at 6%

Trump tweet about this poll: http://www.ijreview.com/2015/10/452...for-this-spicy-one-hes-blaming-on-the-intern/

Calling Iowa voters brain dead

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Am I reading this right? Only 1% of people think Rand has a chance to win the general? If thats the case, that is his biggest problem, people don't get that he is the most electable...Somehow Romney conveyed that message very well.

The media said that Romney was inevitable, every day, for months on end; it's as simple as that. Obviously, Rand's never going to get that kind of favorable treatment. Rand touting his polling against Hillary is a necessary defensive maneuver, to combat the media narrative that he's unelectable, but it should not be viewed as an effort to create a Romney-like aura of inevitability. Rand will ride to the nomination not as the inevitable one, but as the top underdog, the chief conservative alternative to the inevitable one (which, in the end, I still expect to be Bush).

The Iowa tweet. Can we start a Trump campaign death watch? If Iowa voters see this, he's done for.

Mind you, he tweeted this because the Quinnipiac poll showed him down under Carson. Obviously once he's down in the polls, its the voters fault that they're dumb. LMAO

Oh and one for fun.

The only thing left for Trump is to figure out how to exit the race while still saving face. It appears it involves sticking voters the middle finger on the way out.

Its the best Iowa poll for Rand since June - since Trump entered the race.

 

[MrGoose]

Is this the first time Rand has been ahead of Bush?

Yes, at least since Bush announced. I'm glad the 5 percent polls aren't' outliers and Rand really is increasing.

Carson and Cruz are going to be formidable in Iowa. Trump is going down to zero soon.

This is not true, a good friend of mine consulted for Carson and he knows that Carson is running a healthy ground game. Carson has a lot of activists working for him before he even considered running.

 

[CPUd]

Yes, Carson supporters will be competitive in a caucus setting.

 

[MrGoose]

What do you guys think about Cruz? I think he's taking a lot of Rand's support.

 

[CPUd]

Cruz has a lot of soft support, they will run away at the first sign of trouble.

 

[MarcusI]

When I checked that NH poll the above graphic is from, I wanted to post it as well, its very nice. Though one has to admit that Cruz still has the 2nd best stand here.

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

lol at the 100% for Graham and Jindal.

I like that graphic, it has some pretty good numbers in there.

 

[MrGoose]

Interesting graphic, but he's still second place with hard support. Although good to see Paul first. I'm sure a lot of his supporters are more evangelical than libertarian. I think he does have some libertarian supporters though but most of that is probably just propaganda to get rid of Paul's support. I don't see him dropping out before Iowa though.

Trump will be like gollum soon.
