Sep 2015

...there have been 10 polls released for the Iowa Caucus.

Seven consistently showed Clinton in the mid-40s up to the 50s, with Sanders pretty much in the high 20s (a couple had him at 30 or a few points higher)

Then those two that showed Sanders ahead by 1 point and 10 points.

Now we're back to the same result that we've had for the last several months - Clinton ahead by 20+ points.
