It is finally here! The “gold standard” in Iowa polling has arrived, and it shows the same thing we’ve seen elsewhere. Clinton has a strong, but not overwhelming, lead in Iowa, and it is fairly steady.

Clinton’s 48% is unchanged from their October poll (when Biden was excluded) while Sanders has slipped a bit, dropping two points from the 41% he had in their last poll. This poll is well within what we’ve seen in other polling, though Clinton is at the lower range of her support (high 40s to mid 50s) and Sanders is at the upper end up his (low thirties to low forties).

As one of the best pollsters in Iowa (and in the business in general) we can guess that this poll is probably the closest thing we’ve got to the current state of the race, and it isn’t too different from what we’ve seen elsewhere- Clinton has a lead in the high single digits to low teens pretty much across the board.
