Look, it was a stunningly great poll for Sanders. He surged +5 from the last poll into the lead right before the next debate and the actual caucus.

And this wasn't just any old Iowa poll, it was The Des Moine Register Poll, the acknowledged BLUE RIBBON gold standard poll for Iowa.

As a Warren supporter, I can see that as a fact and acknowledge it.

If you like to call one poll from an all white Midwest state "stunningly great" for Bernie because he surged 5 points in that poll, cool!!

Congrats to Bernie and his one-poll-surge!

And, again, this wasn't just any old Iowa poll, it was The Des Moine Register Poll, the acknowledged BLUE RIBBON gold standard poll for Iowa.

I read about it got the margin of error that sort of thing...but didn't know this thanks. K&R

This is the 'odd reason.'

of the poll...more bullshit...I guess unless someone else tries to poll, we find on caucus day.

RCP has Sanders only 3/10 of 1% ahead of Buttigieg in Iowa, though he's 3.6% ahead of Biden.

The polls really haven't given us any clear idea who will win Iowa.

I know Sanders supporters are thrilled to see Sanders in the lead in the latest Register/Selzer poll, but it is notable that his 20% support is the lowest of any front-runner in their poll, all year. Buttigieg was at 25% when he led, Biden at 24%, Warren at 22%. There was a wider range between the 1st and 4th place candidates when each of those three led than there is in this new poll.
