Iowa Poll puts Hillary back in the lead...
I'm not sure how accurate all these polls are, but it's fun to watch:

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/iowa/democratic_iowa_caucus

Survey of 1,106 Likely Dem Caucus Participants
December 10, 2007

Iowa Caucus
Hillary Clinton
29%
Barack Obama
26%
John Edwards
22%
Bill Richardson
7%
Joe Biden
5%
Other
3%

he latest Rasmussen Reports poll of the Iowa Democratic Caucus finds that Hillary Clinton is supported by 29% of Likely Caucus Participants. That’s up two points from two weeks ago and identical to her level of support a month ago.
Barack Obama enjoys 26% support in the most recent poll. He was at 25% two weeks ago and 24% a month ago.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone poll finds John Edwards at 22%, down a bit from 24% two weeks ago and from 25% a month ago. Edwards now trails Clinton by seven percentage points. He trailed by three to four points in the earlier Rasmussen Reports surveys.

1. Fun? Yeah, it is. Reality? Hardly.

edit: give me some money and some time and I could have my idiot dog Jack ahead by 20 points.

6. I don't believe any of these polls. I think Edwards is gonna do better
than folks think, and I think Dodd is, too.

7. Yeah the MSM gets all excited
and races to print this poll that poll the other poll.

The reason the polls move up and down is publicity...When Obama is in the news, like when Oprah jumped in trying to secure a place in the news for leading him around by the nose it was front page....after a week the ditzy public forgets and then when Clinton or Edwards or one of the others does something they pop up. This constant polling is crap....And who do they call anyway...remember going on up to over half the people in this country have CELL PHONES.

8. Considering how hard it is to poll for a caucus, the only thing we can determine from all these
Edited on Thu Dec-13-07 08:29 AM by Freddie Stubbs
close polls is that either Clinton, Obama, or Edwards will win Iowa.
