Obama ahead in new Iowa poll
No wonder Hillary Clinton is redoubling her efforts in Iowa.
A new Washington Post/ABC News poll of likely Democratic caucus-goers has Barack Obama leading the primary field with 30 percent, compared with Clinton at 26 percent and John Edwards at 22 percent. Obama's lead doesn't amount to much given that it's still within the poll's margin of error. But the horse race numbers, along with the results of other questions asked in the poll, has his campaigin smiling.
It's the first time in weeks that Obama has held such a lead. (See the full
results and Post story here.)
Clinton is still seen as the more experienced Democrat, but caucus-goers
surveyed in the poll say they are more interested in change: Fifty-five percent
said a "new direction and new ideas" was their top priority, compared with 33
percent who said "strength and experience." Obama is also increasingly the
second choice of Iowa voters, the Post reports. That's significant because any
candidate who doesn't win 15 percent at a caucus is deemed inviable, and his or
her supporters must choose another candidate or go home.
