Speaks for itself --

1. how could Edwards' support

have dipped so dramatically when he was practically living there the last four years?!

[Think82]

2. Look at that Biden momentum! lol.

At least he's trending positively

[jefferson_dem]

4. Hey, Biden has doubled his support in the ABC poll since July...

From 2% to 4%... Trending upward indeed! :thumbsup:

7. The more focus Biden gets

the more support he will gain. There is no one in here that can say any other candidate can match his level of expertise in this arena.

[Basileus Basileon]

10. At this rate, he'll have 4096% of the vote in time for the 2012 primaries!

3. Probably because he changed from the positive candidate to the pit-bull candidate?

And he's been caught in some inconsistencies...

6. The conventional wisdom about "angry populists" may be spot on.

It's tough to see how he regains momentum...

5. Clinton's and Obama's advertising

During a period when Edwards was not advertising accounts for their rise and Edwards' drop.

Whether he can now counteract that remains to be seen.

14. The trend lines in the OP are crazy!

9. Seems to indicate that Iowa won't prove anything...

When the "front runner" has less than a third of the votes -- and with the exception of a few outlier polls, nobody has ever cracked 33 percent -- it's pretty safe to say that this is anybody's race. I think it's going to take at least until South Carolina (and one or more candidates dropping out) until we get a clear picture of who's leading the pack.

11. Obama's closing, Edwards is failing, Richardson lost his momentum,

and Biden's obviously just lulling them into a false sense of security.

[Basileus Basileon]

12. NEW HAMPSHIRE is interesting, too.

[Stop Cornyn]

13. Here's a more accurate graph of NH polling with more data:

15. Richardson peaked too soon

and it looks like Hillary is gaining steam.
I don't see Obama going much higher.
