The Iowa Poll Everyone Is Waiting For

Campaign officials for the leading Democratic presidential candidates on Friday were eagerly awaiting the release of the first significant poll from Iowa in nearly two months, a drought that has left a murky picture of the Democratic primary race in a state that conducts its first-in-the-nation caucuses in less than four weeks.

The Des Moines Register/CNN poll, which will be released at 6 p.m. Eastern, is considered the most authoritative of Iowa caucusgoers, and the results will be intensely analyzed for signs that any candidate has momentum heading into the Feb. 3 caucuses. CONT.
