Ted Cruz Surges in Iowa, Powered by Outsider Fervor
In fact, Mr. Cruz’s Iowa bandwagon, long churning in relative obscurity, seems to be approaching capacity. Event audiences have swelled. People are coming forward with endorsements. A recent Quinnipiac University poll of likely Republican caucusgoers gave Mr. Cruz 23 percent support, a close second to Donald J. Trump, in the clearest signal yet that Mr. Cruz has begun to tap into the outsider fervor that has for months powered rivals without public sector experience.
