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.)
