Obama Opens Wider Lead in Iowa
Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Iowa that shows Sen. Barack Obama expanding his lead in the first caucus state with 32% support, followed by John Edwards and Sen. Hillary Clinton tied for second at 25%. Among Republicans (who cares, right?) , Mike Huckabee (who has big problems see the Huffington Post) leads 27% support, followed by Mitt Romney at 24%, Rudy Giuliani at 13%, Fred Thompson at 11%. The full poll will be released tomorrow.

I'm not a big believer in the polls since voters and caucus-goers reserve the right to change their minds at the last minute, but these numbers are certainly impressive. Also, if this week's attacks are any indication, the more stronger Obama looks, the more threatened Hillary gets and the more mud she slings. I hope America is finally done with the negative politics and votes for the candidate that rises above.
No, certainly the polls lack credence...but what concerns Clinton in others is the internal polls and deeper looks into the polls which suggest Obama is everyone's 2nd choice (along with Edwards too to a lesser extent). And Obama's rise with women voters as well...though he still has not made headway with African-American voters.
This is also due, partly to the lack of African-American voters in Iowa and N.H. But, what the polls say on a more global perspective is this race is on. And the inevitability of HIllary is far from over. Though, I would never count her out.

Oh wait, looks like I already posted. Guess it's all about staying "on message".
At the very least, this should show people how silly it is to declare a race over 6 months before anyone votes.
Paul,
I resemble that remark. Yes, I admit I am one of the frantic progressives...

I was, of course, referring to predictions in Lower Manhattan legislative primaries.
