Hillary, Obama, Edwards Lead Iowa Race
The race for the Democratic Party nomination for president has grown very tight in the nation’s first caucus state, as likely Iowa Democratic caucus–goers give John Edwards a tiny lead over Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, a new Zogby telephone poll shows. Edwards leads with 27 percent support, the same percentage that backed him in a mid–January Zogby poll. Close on his heels is Clinton at 25 percent support, up from 16 percent in the January poll. Obama has also improved his standing among Iowans over the past two months, winning 23 percent support. Fifteen percent said they were unsure whom they would support. Obama won 17 percent support in the January survey. The race tightened after two key developments – former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack’s endorsement of the Clinton campaign, and the dramatic announcement that Edwards would continue his campaign despite a new cancer diagnosis for his wife, Elizabeth.
Story Continues Below This new poll, conducted March 26, 2007, included 506 interviews with likely Democratic party caucus–goers, and carries a margin of error of +/– 4.5 percentage points. Zogby will release the results of a survey of likely Republican caucus–goers later this week. Editor's note:
