It is Zogby, but at least it is a telephone rather than robo or online poll. It shows Hillary in first at 30%, Edwards at 23% and Obama at 19%. If Hillary wins Iowa it's hard to see anyone stopping her march to the nomination. Iowa is where Edwards has camped out for months and months and plans his breakthrough. (It would be like Rudy winning Iowa or New Hampshire-- a potentiallly devastating defeat for opponents who have put their chits on an early state win to generate momentum for Super Duper Tuesday.) Is this a blip or does this mirror the move Hillary has made nationally-- steadily pulling away from the field? With all caveats about early polls, if other polls echo this one Hillary will be breathing easier.
