Snatchin' it back: In one day, Cruz goes from 5-point lead to 13-point deficit in Iowa


Another lesson in the unpredictability of polls.

Note the developing see-saw pattern between Carson and Rubio.


The behinders in the 11/28-12/6 CNN/ORC poll:
  • 4% - Jeb Bush
  • 3% - Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina
  • 2% - Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee
  • 1% - John Kasich, Rick Santorum
  • 0% - Lindsey Graham, George Pataki
Other stuff:
  • 26% of respondents have 'definitely decided' vs. 20% in Monmouth poll
  • 47% say either Trump (25%) or Crux (22%) best represent 'the values of Republicans like yourself
