  • Huckabee: 3%
  • Santorum: 0%
  • Undecided: 3%

According to analysis by Insider Advantage Founder Matt Towery, the debates continue to have an impact on voters. Of those who watched the Fox Business Network debate, 35 percent said Trump won the debate and  20% said Cruz won the contest. The survey was conducted Sunday, January 17, 2016 and has a margin of error of 3.5%.

This a big move by Cruz. Before this poll the Real Clear Politics Average for the Georgia Republican Presidential Primary had Trump leading Cruz by 23 points. The Georgia primary is one of 12 to be held on March 1.
