Recent polls indicate it may come down to this

Last week, Quinnipiac reported poll results for Iowa that showed Ted Cruz surging to 23%, only 2 points behind Donald Trump.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

A new Quinnipiac University poll of likely Republican caucus goers showed Mr. Cruz with 23%, behind only New York real estate developer Donald Trump, with 25%. That is more than double Mr. Cruz’s showing of 10% in the university’s October poll. Mr. Trump gained five points from October.

Today, Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, tweeted the following:

Just talked to a campaign (not Cruz's) that has private data showing Cruz now ahead in Iowa and Trump falling into second there — Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) December 5, 2015

.@katherinemiller's year-old column calling Cruz the front runner looks pretty good https://t.co/zQDQJkbc1o — Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) December 5, 2015

I feel another LI reader poll coming on . . . .



Showdown: Trump or Cruz?

The poll is open until Noon on Monday (Pacific Time).
