2. Ooooo ... nice!

[Juicy_Bellows]

3. Looks pretty close to me - close enough for a real chance for Sanders.

One thing is for sure, it will be interesting.

Cheers.

4. Prior DSM/Selzer Poll was 42-37

Somebody is going in the wrong direction:

On Monday morning, the last of those dominoes fell over, with the release of a new poll from the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg News. In October, right before Biden made his announcement, Clinton was at 42 percent in the Register/Bloomberg poll and Sanders was at 37 percent. Now, Clinton is at 48 and Sanders is at 39.

And still down sixteen percent in aggregate IA polling;

7. Bernie is coming on strong around the home stretch...

8. These aren't bad numbers for Sanders, actually

he's viewed almost as favorably as Hillary, 46% of the voters say that they can still be persuaded (for either Hillary or Sanders)

Sadly, for some Sanders supporters, most Iowa Dem caucus voters disagree with ending free trade agreements including TPP (and NAFTA)...that issue doesn't seem to to a winner in Iowa (although other, like single-payer) are.

9. Which of the two ran in Iowa before?

And which of the two, having lost, is gearing up a ground operation to address the failings of last time?

[Chitown Kev]

10. Oh, for a lot of reasons

including the "ground game" that you bring up, I think that Sanders will get his ass kicked in Iowa.

I'm simply saying that looking at some of the internals at the link, that's not a bad looking poll for Sanders and (at least in this poll) Hillary is not above 50%.

12. Which has 5x as much cash on hand?

[brooklynite]

13. Well, with the evidence you provided, how could I challenge you?:
