Obama and Edwards are surging. Clinton is dropping. Zogby
Surging on the last day is a very good sign for a candidate. In 2004 both Kerry and Edwards were surging and Dean was dropping. Kerry and Edwards final results were about 10 points above the last poll.

>>Obama and Edwards gained ground overnight in the tracking poll, and Clinton fell four points to third place -- a finish that, if it held, would deal a dramatic setback to the one-time Democratic front-runner.

11. Hillary in the General Election beats any Republican.....
So these Iowa polls are the gospel truth and the national polls that have had Hillary ahead are not to be believed or considered?

Obama and Edwards have been "surging" for 2 months here in Iowa but Hillary continues to move ahead by 22 points nationally? How does that figure?

Iowa is the outlier in the nominating process. The media have made Iowa into the end all to secure the public's attention and turn the public against Hillary Clinton. They seem to have that attention for now. But it has done nothing to detract or diminish Hillary's commanding leads nationally.

13. None of those polls are valid.
FYI
None of those polls consider the effect of a 3rd Party challenge from an AntiWAR/ProLABOR Populist.

A Hillary nomination will catalyze a 3rd Party Challenge that will slice off many Anti-War Democrats and scoop up most of the Independents.

The Hillary crowd is counting MILLIONS of votes she won't get in the General Election.
