3. About Iowa from FiveThirtyEight
Tue Feb 4, 2020, 03:33 PM
Feb 2020
"...we estimate — based on testing how much the results in various states have historically changed the candidates’ position in national polls — that Iowa was the second most-important date on the calendar this year, trailing only Super Tuesday. It was worth the equivalent of almost 800 delegates, about 20 times its actual number."
