A week out, and Donald Trump is still in the lead, with Ted Cruz in a distant second.
This comes as no surprise to anyone who’s looked at a poll in the last two months, but it isn’t what the Republican establishment wanted to see a week before the first caucus.

They assumed that Jeb Bush would be the frontrunner and that the race would basically be over before voters in Iowa even made it to the polls.
