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?
No surprise here, Bachman is a much more intelligent an cuter version of Palin, however her positions will not take her nowhere near nomination....

I would argue that these polls aren't scientific by any means.
