Follow IAStartingLine for good analysis in Iowa. Dems are 45% compared to 2012, GOP at 102%. BUT, Dems have delayed sending ballots since their studies show sending it too early confuses people... It could also show lack of enthusiasm.

It's very dangerous reading too much into these early numbers.

It's very dangerous reading too much into these early numbers.

I agree - but I think a broad conclusion you could look to is that the ground-games of the campaigns are being reflected in these early numbers.

Maybe. Just wanted to point out that these early numbers don't prove that FL will be won by Trump or that Clinton is doing better than expected in IA.
