Looks like Hillary vs Cruz race if he is indeed eligible.

I still think Jeb Bush is the best Republican candidate.. so of course that means he gets only 7% of the numbers.

But let's be clear: Cruz is calling for a 19 percent federal sales tax that would apply to all purchases of goods and services made in the United States. This is possibly the single least voter-friendly idea one could imagine.

"For businesses, the corporate income tax will be eliminated," Cruz writes on his website. "It will be replaced by a simple Business Flat Tax at a single 16 percent rate."

Then The Des Moines Register reported a remarkable surge by Cruz in Iowa over the weekend,

“Cruz, a Texas U.S. senator famous for defying party leaders and using government shutdown tactics to hold up funding for the Obamacare health care law and abortion provider Planned Parenthood, was the favorite of 10 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers in the last Iowa Poll in October. He’s now at 31 percent… Trump’s highest support was 23 percent back in August, when he led the field by 5 points.”

Doyle McManus, the Washington columnist for the Los Angeles Times, argues that in the past

“Iowa’s GOP caucuses, heavy with evangelical Christians, haven’t been a good barometer of sentiment among voters in other states.”

However, Doyle says Cruz supporters disagree, saying that

“anger at both President Obama and the Republican establishment is deep enough not merely to nominate an insurgent like Cruz, but also to enable him to win the general election in November.”

A just-released NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Hillary Clinton leads Ted Cruz by a slim 3 percent – well within the margin of error.
