[Phony Moderate]

Walker in a close race with Jim Gilmore.

Gilmore is actually about the only candidate at comedy levels of support who hasn't been a fairly well-known national figure at some point.

[Mr. Morden]

Carson wins among white born-again Evangelicals, "very conservative" voters, women, and college graduates.  Trump wins among all other demographic groups.

Their previous Iowa poll was taken in late June, and had Walker in first place.  Now he's in 10th place.

[Bull Moose Base]

I think in 2011, Iowa's rotating leaders largely tracked with national polling and the same happens here. The only departure I recall was Santorum's last-minute surge in Iowa preceded his national one which didn't happen until a month into voting I think.

I do think Cruz is poised to surge in Iowa and maybe nationally too. He's winning over opinion leaders and Carson has a problem with fetal tissue research. As I speculated before, an entertaining scenario is Cruz trailing Trump the way Carson is now and on record as not wanting to attack other Republicans (but obviously prepared to do so).

I think it's time for Walker to drop out.

I remember during the winter when IceSpear was 99% sure that Walker would easily win the GOP nomination.

[ElectionsGuy]

I was never more amazed at a poll than this. Walker was leading Iowa just two months ago. Now he's behind Paul. Un-freaking-real.
