41% for Sanders in Iowa must be an all time high for him I guess? Well, Iowa is a very rural state that loves its guns and they're in the very heartland, so foreign policy should be the last thing on their mind. It all makes sense to me now. I'm not sure we've seen peak Sanders yet to be honest. (I actually think not.) We might have seen peak Trump though.

Maybe Bill Maher will move his show (permanently) to Des Moines now?

Finally some good news for Bernie.

Last Selzer had Hillary lead 37-30-14, so it's the same lead now without Biden.

Selzer is the gold standard of Iowa.

[Mr. Morden]

fav/unfav among Dems:

Sanders 82/10% for +72%
Clinton 85/14% for +71%
O’Malley 43/17% for +26%
Lessig 10/12% for -2%
Chafee 14/30% for -16%

Also, a plurality of Iowa Dems think TPP would be good for the state:

Wow, those are terrible favorables for Chafee.
Also good news for Bernie that he's got 8% undecided about him versus 1% for Hillary.

Did they poll the race without Biden last time?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

This was the last poll with Biden... plus this was from the end of August.

Joe Biden (D)   14%   
Lincoln Chafee (D)   1%   
Hillary Clinton (D)   37%   
Martin O'Malley (D)   3%   
Bernie Sanders (D)   30%   
Jim Webb (D)   2%   
Undecided   14%   

So in that circumstance - Biden is down 2, Clinton is up 5 and Sanders is up 7.

But we'll see what the next bunch of polls with Biden officially out of the race looks like. Because remembering knowing that Biden is ABSOLUTELY out will have an impact, moreso than just being given the option.

[Eraserhead]

Glad Sanders is surviving the Clinton MSM lovefest here at the very least.

I've never thought I'd hear the words 'Clinton MSM lovefest'. At least some have moved on from the secret anti-Sanders polling conspiracy.... or have they?

I guess we'll get Republican numbers tomorrow?

[Skye]

My God, 2 candidates in the 40s? Truly Biden getting out was a good thing.

Damn, look at that epic Sanders collapse !

Sanders has "collapsed" from trailing by 8 in August to 7 now following the debate ...

[Ebsy]

Yes Tender, at that rate of progress, Bernie Sanders will be leading in Iowa in next November.

[Bakersfield Uber Alles]

Honestly, I have no idea what these polls mean. That's an excellent poll for Sanders in contrast to a lot of the polls from NH. "INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

[The Other Castro]

Honestly, I have no idea what these polls mean. That's an excellent poll for Sanders in contrast to a lot of the polls from NH. "INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

And New Hampshire said: "Let there be President Sanders!"

And there was President Sanders.

[Gass3268]

Sanders can win both Iowa and New Hampshire, but it won't matter as Hillary can then counter with South Carolina, Nevada, and SEC Super Tuesday.

Incidentally, looks like we'll be getting new polls from IA, NH, and SC on Sunday morning courtesy of CBS:

I assume more of their YouGov polling?   Not sure how good those are but I suspect being online polls they will give Trump a boost. The last ones were also very good for Sanders.

Their last NH poll was incredibly good for Trump.  But their IA and SC polls didn't seem especially Trump-friendly as compared to other polls taken at the same time.  They gave Trump a 4 point lead in Iowa, which was narrower than any other poll that month.

[Eraserhead]

Yougov's last polls were way too favorable for Sanders. We'll see if that's still the case this time.
