New Iowa Caucus Poll - Dean And Gephardt Tied, Kerry & Edwards Moving Up

[ISUGRADIA]

http://www.surveyusa.com/currentelectionpolls.html

Dean and Gephardt each 23%

Kerry 17%

Edwards 11%

Clark 8%

Lieberman 5%

Other 6%

Undecided 7%

Interesting poll, don't know the firm's record but a lot lower undecided vote than other polls that have it in the 30s here in Iowa.

The numbers seem to show some recent trends, Kerry and Edwards up a bit from their TV ad buys, Dean and Gep close to each other, Lieberman sinking like a rock, and the rest bunched together near 1% a piece.

Good news. I don't mind Gep and Dean being tied because I know gep will pull ahead in the end.

2. What was the criticism of SurveyUSA?

Someone here was criticising their methodology.

3. well I tend to take Survey USA with grain of salt

they have a reputation for being unreliable. For instance they have on the recall in California over a huge majority supporting recalling Davis and Arnold leading by over ten points where other polls tend to show Davis gaining on recall and Bustamante ahead by a few points.

Though I tend to think that Dean and Gephardt are very close in the state. It will be interesting to see how Clark will affect the numhers.

4. Go Kerry. This represent a huge surge of support for Kerry.

He hasn't registered that high a % in Iowa for a while and he's within striking distance of both Gep[ and Dean. ONe will go down before January is my prediction.

5. This is good news to see Lieberman trailing, for once

Most polls I have seen have him far ahead of candidates I like much better!:-(
