Well Romney likes this
Iowa poll a whole lot more than yesterday's Rasmussen. This one
has Romney at 27%, Rudy at 13%, Huckabee at 10% and Thompson at
10%.(Rasmussen had Romney 25%, Thompson 19%, Huckabee 18% and Rudy
13%). Looks like both polls have Romney in the same place and Rudy
in the same place but Thompson and Huckabee poll very
differently.The big difference is undecideds(SV has 23% undecided
and Rasmussen has 11% so I suspect there is some methodology
difference going on here.) Once again, I would not underestimate
the organizational factor (Romney has huge advantage) in getting
caucus turnout. (By the way McCain trails the top four in both
these badly [in middle single digits]. I wonder if it would be
better to drop out of Iowa entirely and put all his chips on NH and
SC rather than risk a very poor showing and blunt any momentum he
might be building in NH.)
