In Iowa, Gingrich Is Gaining Favor, New Poll Shows

In Iowa, Gingrich Is Gaining Favor, New Poll Shows by Jeff Zeleny and Marjorie Connelly 

You can read the here
In a new telephone poll in Iowa, Newt Gingrich is supported by a majority of 31% of Iowa Caucus-goers.  Just behind in the poll, is  Romney with 17% and Ron Paul with 16%. However, the poll also states that nearly two thirds of likely voters are subject to changing their minds on their favored candidate. With this is mind, I believe that the race is still extremely close especially since the caucus is not for another 3 or so weeks. This can prove to be plenty of time for a candidate to turn the tide in their favor. 
Polling is one of the topics that we discussed in class. Despite the fact that they are never 100% correct, they usually predict the outcomes of many elections. We will just have to see whether this one is correct.
