The 2004 entrance poll found Edwards with 26%, and he got 32%. With a margin this close, the entrance polls become even more irrelevant.
Let's wait for the results.

1. Not necessarily. People change allegiances once the caucuses begin.
The 6% difference could have been picked up from non-viable candidates.
