A stunning new Iowa poll seems to show the New York senator with an apparent double-digit lead over her nearest rival among likely Democratic caucus goers, with voting just over a week away.

Iowa polling is notoriously difficult because of the unpredictable nature of caucus voting. Still, the Clinton campaign is still sure to view these results as an early Christmas gift: she and Barack Obama were neck-and-neck in last week's American Research Group poll. In the new survey, conducted December 20-23, she leads the Illinois senator by 15 percentage points, 34 to 19 percent. Obama is now in a statistical tie for second place with John Edwards, who has 20 percent of the vote.

This poll is completely bogus. No way she has this kind of a lead or any lead in Iowa the way she's going after Obama. Their polls must be showing something really bad in a lot of states for all of her minons to be attacking Obama. No way she's moved up this fast and Obama went down. He's been getting huge crowds in Iowa and all the polls show him in the lead or tied there and taking the lead in NH, SC and GA. Cutting her lead in half in CA. Iowa does not like Hillary. They won't give the nomination to her with or without Bill.

"In the Democratic race, ARG has consistently found support for Clinton well above that of other polling organizations."

America's Research Group huh? What a joke.

This proves again that Mark Penn and the Clinton Machine are behind many of
the BULLSHIT polls that have had Hillay ahead by double digits throughout.

Phoney hype to cover the serious political shortcomings of Hillary and Bill Clinton. They are chronic liars, the entire country knows this.

Penn is a master of using bogus polling information to decieve.
This poll is simply being pushed thru the media to rally Clinton's reeling supporters.

Bad news Mark, this is going to backfire just like all your other bullshit tactics.

A while back I saw a poll that said that 44% of the Democrats that are voting for HRC want Bill back in the White House. If Bill were not her husband would you vote for her ???
There are too many Democrats....Independents..a few Republicans that will NEVER vote for her.
Why would anyone support such a candidate?
Iowa...New Hampshire...South Carolina should give
Obama the nod so that the rest of the country can
see how HRC will handle the pressure. Give the other states a chance to chime in.
We cannot afford to make another mistake in chosing a candidate.

Hillary owns the Democratic party. You folks are slaves to the Clintons. We knew that at the outset. I've said all along Hillary is your nominee. And you will support their corruption and defend them no batter how bad their lies and corruption stink. That's come to define the democratic party of the last 16 years or so.

Dreaming that you could take Hillary of the throne after spending years of enshrining here was silly, particularly when you made it off limits to talk about her past corruption. Just who do you think that would benifit? obama? Not likely. If you can't talk about the corruption of the clintons you can't beat them.

America's Research Group is a full service consumer behavior survey research company.

Wouldn't put much faith in their numbers, not until I see some details regarding their methodology anyway.

Didn't a publication called LITERARY DIGEST predict that Alf Landon would beat FDR. The picture of a broadly smiling Harry Truman holding up an edition of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE which had a headline about Dewey beating Truman is priceless & the smile was pure Harry Truman. What did the poll say about Iowa, again. The zaftig female hasn't started her aria yet.

Bill and Hillary were drug dealers in college.
