Battle between Trump and Cruz main event in Iowa caucus

With 9 days to go before the Iowa caucus, US conservatives are torn between billionaire frontrunner Donald Trump and maverick Senator Ted Cruz. There are 12 Republicans still in the White House race but the two candidates are dominating the polls ahead of the February 1 caucus.  At the start of January, several polls had Cruz in first place. The latest opinion poll, conducted by CNN among likely Republican voters, shows Trump with 37% support to 26% for Cruz. Florida Senator Marco Rubio follows with 14%. The margin of error is 6 percentage points. On Saturday, January 23, Trump and Cruz both made appearances in the small heartland state which is the first to vote in the US presidential nominations process. The 69-year-old real estate tycoon Trump and the 45-year-old Texas senator refused to attack each other until just recently. But Trump now calls his chief rival “a nasty guy” and a hypocrite for slamming New York values while taking money from donors in the Big Apple.
