One month today Iowans (or at least some of them) will gather to pass verdict on the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Here is how the state looks.
Polls: An AP/Pew Research poll from November 7-25 puts Hillary Clinton on 31%, Barack Obama on 26% and John Edwards on 19%. The margin of error is +/-5.5%. A poll from Iowa State University (via USA Today) from November 6-18 is Clinton 31%, Edwards 24%, Obama 20%. The Republican top three has Mitt Romney at 25%, Mike Huckabee at 22% and Rudy Giuliani at 16%. The margin of error is +/-6%.
Campaign / classroom news: Having turned around the Clinton campaign's attacks on their candidate's kindergarten record, Obama's people announced a website to track and respond to attacks. Edwards meanwhile revealed his earliest career aims were to be either a cowboy or Superman. Instead he became a lawyer.
'Advice' that Obama was already following: Try and beat Clinton in Iowa, suggests "canny" Karl Rove in the FT.
