The Des Moines Register Poll.. is the one I always trust.. only 134 days to caucus

[Peacetrain]

and now 20% of our people are completely dialed into their candidate...and that is huge..so Congrats to Eliz. Warren.. we knew you were kicking butt .. that is a great showing... Congrats to VP Biden.. that is a reality check poll and you can take it to the bank.. Iowa loves you and you are doing the best you have ever done here..


Hubby and I are both quite content.. and all the others who have been denigrated in the lower numbers.. you really jumped also.. you will not be the candidate unless the top 5 totally blow up with something.. but who you finally decide to endorse.. your people will probably go to in caucus for.. and you are the ones that are going to pick who leaves Iowa in the top 3 places.. you have the power.. so congrats to you too..

GOOD MORNING DU.... coffee is up for everyone..

1. I suspect Iowans are used to it, but I'm not sure I could stand that intensity of politics 24/7 for

YEARS before the actual caucuses. More power to them... At least they have ample opportunity to become fully informed.

2. It starts to wear on you a little just before Labor Day.. but in 134 days

we are completely out of it.. our time in the barrel is almost over.. thank GOD!!

3. The DM/ Selzer Iowa Caucus GOP Poll was way off mark in 2016

Their Final Poll: Trump 28% Cruz 23% Rubio 15% v. Actual Results Cruz 28% Trump 24% Rubio 23% …… In 2018 their final Poll in Iowa Governors Race : Hubbell (D) 46% Reynolds (R) 44% v. Actual Results Reynolds (R) 50.4% Hubbell (D) 47.4 % They are not a spectacular polling organization ….

5. The final Democrat poll was close enough: HRC 45 - BS 42

4. Biden's got this!

6. Hubby and I are supporting two different candidates.. but I think Biden takes this one all the way

this time... He does have this.. I just feel it in my heart..

7. I think the IA Caucus and NH Primary Will Be Less Defining Than in Past Cycles

With the change in the Dem Primary calendar I think the race will be culled to 3 candidates on March 3 when all the States and territories below will have voted. Bernie should do the right thing and drop out and let Biden and Warren have a head to head race but I don't think he will.

South Carolina
Primary
March 3
Alabama
American Samoa
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Democrats Abroad
Maine
Massachusetts
Minnesota
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia

8. Iowa Caucus attendees trend to the left

That is why Bernie Tied Hillary in the 2016 Iowa Caucus …..I respect the views of moderate Dems but they will comprise about 35 % of Iowa caucus attendees..... This sample seems to indicate that 60% of Iowa caucus attendees will be moderates ... I don't believe that …..

9. There are many polls. Swear by the ones you like. Swear at the others.

[question everything]

10. Someone commented that 2/3 of caucus goers are still undecided.

11. It's too early to be committed to one.

At this point, we don't know who will still be in the race in 130 days.

I have until March 10 to make up my mind. There are so many good choices.
