Iowa’s caucuses are four months away and fifteen candidates are vying for the Republican presidential nomination. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) says there are too many candidates, even with two dropping out of the race. He adds that as an Iowan he welcomes all of the candidates to the state. Grassley recommends voters go out to meet as many of the candidates as possible as they campaign across the Hawkeye state.

At this time, Donald Trump leads the field with 23.3 percent according to the national average of polling data from Real Clear Politics, followed by Ben Carson with 16.3, Carly Fiorina at 11.8 and Marco Rubio at 9.5.
