1. Where did you get these numbers?

[angee_is_mad]

2. Wow

3 point lead!!! What is the margin of error?

[ClintonTyree]

These polls............

are really quite meaningless now. What happens Monday next will be the final indicator. These will probably seesaw back and forth until then.

3. What is most interesting...

...is that 13% are still undecided. Most of these 13 percent will probably make up their mind monday morning. I still think this race is up for grabs.

Can't find the margin of error anywhere. They are generally around 3-4%

8. Wrong...

13% will stay warm at home watching TV.

4. Let's look at the three-days

1/9-11 1/10-12 1/11-13

Dean 26% 28% 24%

Gephardt 23% 23% 21%

Kerry 16% 17% 21%

Edwards 12% 14% 15%

Lieberman 2% 1% 1%

Clark 2% 2% 3%

Kucinich 3% 3% 2%

Sharpton 1% .1% .1%

Braun 1% 1% 1%

Undecided 14% 12% 13%



So in fact, Dean is down four and Kerry is up 4.

11. Looks to me like Kerry is on top!

[XanaDUer]

;)

6. Don't get too excited

Lots of work to do yet. Polls are meaningless, what counts is getting the bodies into the caucus site.

7. Thanks for posting Slinkster

I think he's going to close Iowa with 28-30%. The endorsements by Harkin, Sheen and Moseley-Braun will do it.

9. Yesterdays numbers.

New numbers have:

Kerry 22%, Dean and Gephardt 21% and Edwards 17%

[Blaukraut]

10. actually not correct

The numbers you posted are from the 1/11 - 1/13 polling. The newer numbers, where Kerry holds the lead, are from 1/12 - 1/14.

12. I just checked... your numbers are old.

Zogby's newest numbers have Kerry at 22, Dean at 21.

14. Actually, Trippi says don't trust the polls (because they show Kerry tied

with Dean. This is the link at msnbc to which your article was linked:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ID/3965938/
Trippi dismissed the latest Zogby data showing Kerry and Dean statistically tied.

“If anybody is looking at those tracking polls, including our own, and thinking that they’re accurate or show anything that has anything to do with anything that’s going to happens on Monday, I caution you there is a long history of tracks particularly in the last week having nothing to do with the outcome. ... I’ve been here through four Iowa caucuses and the one consistent thing I can tell you is that the tracking polls have always been wrong in the last week.”
