REP Iowa (Emerson): Trump 27% Cruz 26% Rubio 22%

You guys act like it actually matters whether the polls showing Rubio with momentum have any credibility. The original poll showing Santorum's momentum was most likely junk, until its findings became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

However, this poll is so late, and probably won't be widely broadcast, that it probably can't create a self fulfilling prophecy on its own. The Santorum poll in 2011 came out around, IIRC 10+ days before Iowa, and was a CNN poll, and heavily publicized.

This is true. I actually remember it was a widely held theory at the time that one pro-Santorum outlier sparked a wave of last minute momentum for him. The media really sucks.
