In Iowa - Romney 23%, Bachmann 22%, Cain 10%
Bachmann hasn't started campaigning in Iowa yet (she starts Monday)

"69 percent of respondents said they could still be persuaded to support a candidate other than their first choice."

All others single digits.

Iowa caucus not until February 2012.

Iowa Poll: Romney, Bachmann in lead; Cain third; others find little traction | Iowa Caucuses

Is this typical this early that there is no clear front runner in Iowa?
Are you surprised Bachmann is so close to Romney in Iowa?
Should Romney be worried about Bachmann or is Iowa flukey?
Is 69% still persuadable surprising to you for this many months out in Iowa?
Is the 69% undecided about current choices or are they waiting for someone else to get in (in Iowa) and in your opinion? (Palin, Perry, Other)
Is 69% persuadable good news for Pawlenty or have they made up their minds about him already?
If you think Romney is a shoo in for New Hampshire and someone else wins Iowa, what does it mean if yet a third candidate wins South Carolina?

If Perry doesn't run, be sure Bachmann will win Iowa, or maybe (surprise) Cain.

Not at all surprised that she's close in Iowa since she's from here (Waterloo).

I think it's still to early to call a real front-runner, but I'm pulling for her!

Well her family is FROM IOWA and she's a staunch Evangelical. If she doesn't have good showing in Iowa with those two things going for her she not a serious contender for the nomination. She also need to to well in South Carolina, another state with very conservative voters.

A better test for her will be how well she does in New Hampshire and Florida. We already now Bachman is a favorite of the Tea Party but how will she do with more moderate Republicans.

Do you think moderate Republicans aren't for lower taxes and smaller government? What do you think moderate Republicans are for?

When you have a "Flake" running, who actually believe God made he do it, of course she will see a jump in the poll of flakey religulogues.

I think you are taking what she says and believes out of context as usual.

I wonder how many of you watched the interview yesterday with Chris Wallace? If you had you certainly could not think she is a "Flake" or if you are honest and open your closed mind you couldn't think that. She can hold her own pretty damn well. BTW, This does not mean I am supporting her, I keep an open mind and will decide as we closer to the primaries in my state.

She is a flake, it seems to me, she has demonstrated it numerous times and I do hope she wins the nomination.

Michelle Bachmann does well in a debate where as Tele-prompter Barry will have his hands full. At this point I too hope she gets the nomination. I don't think anyone else will tear into BarryO quite as brutally as she will.

Not a Flake fb, she's your worst nightmare.

Default Bachmann will win Iowa

I said awhile ago she would win the republican nomination and be obliterated by Obama in the general.

The reason she will win Iowa is because its the only way she has a shot of staying in the race.

Very similar to Obama in 08. I thought Iowa was make or break for him. If he didn't show up, Clinton would've rolled through the rest of the primaries.

Iowa will put you in the headlines and change peoples minds, like it did for Obama in 08.

The climate and structure is in place for her in Iowa to succeed and defeat the democrat Romney. She wins Iowa, she can keep riding that momentum to the other states.

When futures come out on Intrade I'll buy a ton on her to win Iowa.
