New Poll #s: Mitt's #1 in Iowa

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire reports on recent polls.

First, he points out the most recent polls:
Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Iowa that shows Sen. Barack Obama leading the Democratic presidential race with 32% support, followed by John Edwards at 29% and Sen. Hillary Clinton at 27%.

On the Republican side, Mitt Romney leads with 30%, followed by Mike Huckabee at 28%; Sen. John McCain at 16% and Fred Thompson at 13%.

It's not much, but Mitt's in the top spot. I'm not even convinced these polls reflect Mike's recent meltdowns in foreign policy and yesterday's disasterous, hypocritical won't-go-negative stunt.

Then, he lists the results of the last several polls:

In just the last few days we've seen Iowa polls showing Sen. Hillary Clinton leading (Reuters/Zogby, CNN/Opinion Research, American Research Group), John Edwards leading(McClatchy/MSNBC) and Sen. Barack Obama leading (Des Moines Register). We've even seen a poll try to allocate second choice preferences which shows Edwards as the leader (Insider Advantage).

On the Republican side, it's the same story. Mike Huckabee leads (Des Moines Register) or Mitt Romney leads (Reuters/Zogby, CNN/Opinion Research, McClatchy/MSNBC, American Research Group).


Good news. Mitt's led in 4 out of the last 5 major polls.
