But I'd find it hard to see Biden finishing 4th in Iowa with how well he's polled there for months.

Most people interviewed say they just want it to be over. They want normal and calming. Make of that what you wish.

The only ones who do not are radical Republican or die types.

It should be coming out soon, the last one was 5 weeks ago.

Multiple polls now showing Pete looking for real in IA. Klobuchar not so much.

I have no idea what will happen in 12 months.

But Biden/ Warren gives me a good feeling. I would like to see Pete as SOD. I think that would fit perfectly for him to then take over. I really admire his immense knowledge.

supporter trying to get her real momentum. Read about their method particularly about how they got the sample ...it was invitation only...

"This report contains the results of a Civiqs survey of 598 likely Democratic Caucus attendees in Iowa from
October 18-22, 2019. The survey was conducted online, among selected members of the Civiqs research
panel. Sampled individuals were emailed by Civiqs and responded using a personalized link to the survey at
civiqs.com.
Likely Democratic Caucus attendees are respondents who answered that they would "Definitely" or
"Probably" attend the Iowa Democratic Caucuses scheduled for February 2020, in question 1, and who
identified themselves as Democrats or Independents on a previous Civiqs survey.
The order of the candidate trait questions was rotated across six versions of the questionnaire. Respondents
were randomly asked about a different candidate first, on each of the six versions.
The survey results are weighted by age, race, gender, education, party identification, and congressional
district to be representative of the population of likely Iowa Democratic Caucus attendees. Demographic
data, including self-reported party identification, was collected in previous Civiqs surveys. The general
design effect due to weighting is 1.57. The survey has a margin of error of ±5.0% at the 95% confidence level,
accounting for the design effect. All survey results in this report are reported as percentages."

The polls are the polls...but now with this sort of thing. Proving a what some believe is a truth with a falsehood...never understood that.

Many polls posted here, especially "rolling average" polls, draw from the same samples of "research panel" members as this Civiqs poll.

cherry picked poll.

scale poll is a fail, and makes you look silly.

free for all'. Basic standard methodology is what you are trying to frame as 'invitation only' and falsely cast in a negative light.

The A rated online polls also send emails from their sample group, as does the hallowed (by Biden supporters) HarrisX online poll. At least this one is not run by a RWer (Scott Rasmussen, who runs HarrisX), and is not owned by a RW apologist shill (Mark Penn, who owns Harris X and runs the separate Harvard/Harris Poll himself.)

You have ZERO proof this is some 'Warren finger on the scale' poll, that is just patently silly. Iowa State University is NOT going to put their name on a partisan 'cooked' poll, ludicrous.

I am NOT saying this is the be all and end all of polls, AND I already stated (in this very thread) I am also waiting for the gold standard Des Moines Register poll

My second choice, despite doubts about his AA support. Would LOVE to see a debate Buttigieg v Warren - the smartest cookies in the race. Elizabeth better brush up on foreign policy - Pete outclasses the entire field on that.

Considering the 5% MOE, that makes Warren's lead even more impressive, from a sample with a strong percentage of likely caucus participants.

When a poll looks like an outlier, it usually is.

were sampled and less than 600 of them. When I see national polls showing Biden ahead, I know he probably has a greater lead because those polls skew left...with Warren just the opposite. Now as for this poll...it is simply a poll designed to make Warren look like she is surging...we have seen a number of them...when you look at polls that don't have a dog in this fight, it is a very different outcome as we have seen time and time again. Expect more of this in a desperate attempt to counteract the good polls that have come out recently for Biden.

done

and dusted

ROFL

I love that you keep repeating that phrase. Sweating the polls is wasted energy, especially three months out from voting. Wake me up when the last DMR poll is released the week prior to the caucus.

Des Moines Register poll, but the level of attempts to falsely smear the basic methodology as (LOLOLOL) 'invitation only' (lololol) is so ridiculous. EVERY online poll (yes, even the A rated ones) selects a group from their sample data and sends off an invite aka an email with a secure link.

If not, then the only way to get respondents to an online poll is to toss it up, Drudge style, on a website and let anyone mash away until their fingers wear out, lolol (and use an VPN if the 'poll' has an IP address tracker that tries to stop a person from voting 100 times).

All because one group doesn't like the results. That same group sure loves the RW-run (Scott Rasmussen) RW owned (Mark Penn), 'invite only' (omg) HarrisX online poll, that is even more 'spun up' than this one is, as HarrisX PAYS a lot of the participants, LOLOL

I LOVE seeing Pete at 20%, even if its an outlier. And Pete's put a lot of work and money into Iowa. Good luck to him.
