TWO NEW POLLS: HILLARY CLINTON LEADS IN IOWA BY 5-7 POINTS

AP-Pew poll also shows strong double-digit leads in NH and SC; Clinton leading on important issues, most electable

Hillary Clinton leads all Democrats in Iowa, according to a new AP-Pew poll showing her leading by 5 points, and an Iowa State poll showing her ahead by 7. In addition, new AP-Pew polls show her leading by 19 in New Hampshire and 14 in South Carolina. The polls also show her ahead on the issues most important to voters, as well as the most electable Democrat:

Iowa

Hillary leads the AP-Pew poll with 31 percent, compared to 26 percent for Obama and 19 percent for Edwards.
In addition, the new Iowa State University poll shows Hillary ahead with 31 percent, compared to 24 percent for Edwards, and 20 percent for Obama.

New Hampshire:

Hillary leads the AP-Pew poll with 38 percent, doubling each of her opponents. Obama follows with 19 percent, and Edwards at 15 percent.

South Carolina:

Hillary leads the AP-Pew poll with 45 percent, followed by Obama at 31 percent, and Edwards at 10 percent.
Hillary and Obama are even among black voters in SC, and Hillary leads by 3-to-1 among white voters.

Support among key groups:

In the AP-Pew polls, Hillary has amassed strong support among female, older, less-educated and lower-income Democrats -- significant because women and older voters in particular have dominated these primaries and caucuses in the past.
Hillary leads among women in each state, drawing the support of nearly half of women in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and more than a third in Iowa.

The ship isn't sinking as fast as everyone thought.

I heard rumors the last day of polling was 11/25.

One poll has month old data.

The other is a poll commissioned by the University, with no methodology reported.

That being said, I understand how the Hillary Machine is desperate for any glimmer of *hope*.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I doubt that Clinton in desperate. She's still the front runner by practically any measure. To be sure, they'll fight like hell to keep it that way, but reports of her political death are premature.

No honest observer would say that Hillary has NOT had a rough go of it these past few weeks.

That being said, I agree that she's still the front-runner. The bigger they are...the harder they fall.

*All from links in Hillary's press release.

:rofl:

of the last 5 ones released? back to the future all of a sudden has a whole new meaning here

This is part of his standard bag of tricks to convince people they want something they really don't want.

He said there's a reason most journalists go with the Des Moines Register poll (where Obama leads Clinton 28%-25%) . He said, "They usually get it right
and they have been doing ti a long time."

to give us the facts.

(that is sarcasm by the way)

Now I greet the news with a vague sense of dread.
