That was the last contested primary. You see Cruz Beating Trump by four points. Marco rubio a point behind donald trump. In your last Polling Rubio was 15 . He got a bump of eight points in The End on caucus nights. I would say that was a surprise. So you can have surprises in iowa even with the Gold Standard your poll is on saturday night.

Bill if you look at the issues in iowa and the polling. Immigration popped in september. In part its because of what is happening in cities like chicago and New York and denver, colorado. It continues to climb. September, october, november. A lot of people talking about it here. Can i show you something . The White House got to pay attention to this.
