It’s official: Ted Cruz leads the polls in Iowa less than two months before the caucuses and may very well be in the lead for the Republican nomination. The newest poll from the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg has the Texas senator with 30 percent support among likely GOP caucusgoers, placing Cruz 10 points ahead of New York businessman Donald Trump at 21 percent. Trailing Cruz and Trump in the DMR poll, released Saturday, is Ben Carson, the one-time leader in Iowa who has seen a persistent slide in the last couple of weeks there. Florida senator Marco Rubio places fourth, with 10 percent support, while the remainder of the field sit in single digits.
