The recent Gallup poll of Dec 18th (the MRBI of the US - generally accepted as the best pollsters) has Clinton way ahead nationally here

Margin of error is 4% in that CNN poll - the sample is only 543.

Come on, OBAAAAAAAAAAAMA!!!

Calm down, Obama is looking good. A straw candidate winning is better than even I could have hoped for.

Iowa population is only 2.9 mil so sample seems only marginally behind what we'd find in Ireland. The slightly smaller sample is made up for by the higher margin of error

I must admit, I don't care.

Come on, OBAAAAAAAAAAAMA!!!

Is he very right wing or something?

The man is genuinely the best chance America has to put the last decade and a half of partisan fury behind them. Like a black Kennedy
I heard his interview on Meet the Press a few weeks back and he seems to have a very good grasp on the major issues affecting America, Iraq included -which mercifully he's not going to abandon if he becomes president.

OBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMA

Done by CNN's research team though - not exactly the most reputable pollsters...

And that's not a slightly smaller sample - it's about half the size of a statistically reasonable sample. Big big error margin to be afraid of here.
