[47of74]

I just saw a story about the Research 2000 Iowa Poll. It shows the following for the if the election was held today question;

QUESTION: If the election for President were held today, would you vote for the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin, or another candidate?

Listed: OBAMA | MCCAIN | OTHER | UNDECIDED
ALL: 55% | 39% | 3% | 3%
MEN: 49% | 45% | 4% | 2%
WOMEN: 61% | 33% | 2% | 4%
DEMOCRATS: 87% | 6% | 2% | 5%
REPUBLICANS: 15% | 80% | 2% | 3%
INDEPENDENTS: 58% | 36% | 5% | 1%

I feel a little bit better now...

2. Wait....

More people think Obama is more qualified to be president than McCain here in Iowa, and also more people think McCain is less qualified than Obama. Why isn't the rest of the Midwest like Iowa?!
