Dueling Polls Show Different Leaders
December 4, 2007--In less than a month, the Iowa Caucuses will kick off the
2008 presidential nominating process. Right now, it could be anybody's race,
with two separate polls showing different front runners.
A Des Moines Register poll puts Barack Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton, with
John Edwards a close third. But a new Iowa State University poll shows Clinton
with a seven-point lead over Edwards and Obama 11-points behind. The Iowa
State poll has a six-percent margin of error.
The poll confusion continues on the republican side. The Des Moines Register
poll shows Mike Huckabee leading Mitt Romney by five-percent, with Rudy
Giuliani a distant third. But the ISU poll shows Romney leading Huckabee, and
Giuliani still in third.
