Presidential Polls 2016 Update: Tight Competition for Donald Trump in Iowa
The upcoming elections have started to take a toll on some candidates as a new poll revealed that Donald Trump may need to boost his support in Iowa.
In the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll, Ted Cruz has toppled over the businessman, with 28 percent compared to Trump's 24 percent. The results were derived from citizens who are more likely going to vote in the upcoming elections.
Other Republican candidates follow behind the two, with Marco Rubio obtaining 13 percent of the people's votes, and Ben Carson emerging with 11 percent, while the rest of the candidates weren't able to gain more than 5 percent of the people's trust.

The results are baffling for Trump, but the general public has actually placed him on top of the race. It should be noted that the state will be holding its caucuses on Feb. 1, and time doesn't wait for any candidate to earn the people's trust.
Putting caucus-goers aside, the business mogul leads Cruz by 2 points, (26 to 24), meaning he still has chances to get the people of Iowa under his wing. Also, 3 months back, Trump was number 1 in the state, with retired neurosurgeon Carson following behind, and Cruz trailing at number 3.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are also heating the battle up as the poll revealed that frontrunner Hillary Clinton is the people's choice as he leads Bernie Sanders by three points. Sanders obtained 45 percent, while Clinton rose up in victory with 48 points.
As for New Hampshire, Trump can rest assured that he has the people's support as the state provided him with 30 percent, smashing the rest of the candidates. Rubio follows behind with 14 percent, and the rest is history.
Clinton, on the other hand, is being led by Sanders by four points among likely primary voters, which means the former Secretary of State probably needs to work harder on her campaign to slam the race before the state holds its presidential primaries on Feb. 9.
