I think this is an effect of the Republicans spending such a long time campaigning there. It is pretty impressive though, considering that Iowa's economy is booming and you would expect that to be in Obama's favor. It doesn't surprise me that Paul is doing well. Compared to the other candidates he's faced little scrutiny, and some of his positions (foreign policy, civil liberties and certain social issues) are well calculated to appeal to Democrats and Independents. However if his positions were actually put under the microscope, I don't think he'd end up doing nearly this well.
