Pre-Assaultgate, but still, looks like Iowa will trend sharply to the right.

seems right.

has been before tape-gate and iowa was the most trump-friendly state of all.

The full numbers: Trump 43, Clinton 39, Johnson 6, Stein 2

Poll taken before the tape came out yesterday and Selzer notes that as an important caveat, indicating that the numbers in this poll might be dated

Selzer's LV screen is crazy strict.

I have a feeling 2016 will be Selzer's year of total disgrace.

She missed in the Iowa caucuses, overestimating Trump and underestimating Cruz

You have to be 100% sure you are going to vote. Not even a probably counts.

Come on, this could have been right yesterday.  Is this that implausible?

Useless poll because it was taken before the tape was released.

Not implausible at all...because Iowa hasn't behaved like normal Iowa this cycle. That being said, Selzer had to add the caveat of grab-gate in the writeup because that would change the polling substantially

No, it is not implausible.
It looks about right, pre-MeowGate.
But I can see it being Lean-Clinton in about 1 to 2 weeks.

David Moore, a 32-year-old independent from Des Moines, compared conventional politics to professional wrestling, where the conflicts are staged and the drama manufactured. The way Trump ignores and upends political convention, he said, makes him a “people’s champion.”

Moore, a welder and mechanic who was changing the oil in a car when contacted by The Des Moines Register, recalled a speech from earlier this year in which Trump “came out and dropped the F bomb three times.”

“I thought it was the coolest thing I ever saw,” he said. “It just sounded so awesome to hear somebody of his status say those words and just speak what he felt was the truth.”

What a trash state. Glad we're replacing it with Virginia in the freiwal, a clear upgrade.

This suggests that Hillary's bounce was just starting to erode right when the tape came out. It was perfect timing.

Pre-assaultgate, so garbage.

Whoa....

inb4 Wulfric says he will vote for Clinton again because of this poll, lol.

At this point, if Clinton loses the election, there was no possible way to stop Trump.

Well..

next Iowa poll will likely show Clinton in the lead.

Trump could have well overperformed in the Midwest and rust belt. Now he will not. And he will do very poorly in the South for a Republican.

It will be a landslide !

She missed in the Iowa caucuses, overestimating Trump and underestimating Cruz

She did pretty well on the Democratic side though.

Basically all of the pollsters overestimated Trump there for whatever reason.

Not quite. The Selzer poll was Clinton +3 and it was a "virtual tie" so...

I'm pretty positive that if Hillary dropped the F-bomb then this guy would howl to the moon about what a "bitch" she is.

How ironic is it that Trump almost came third in the caucus?

Especially considering that Democrats don't count actual votes, just delegates.

Let's also not pretend the Carson dropping out rumor didn't have some effect. The entrance polls were even worse!
