Dueling Polls in Iowa and NH.
Polling is all over the place in Iowa, which isn't really surprising. It's hard to poll in caucus states, so different polls with different methodologies will get very different results.
At this point, you can look at polls that show Hillary ahead or Bernie ahead. What does it all mean?
Not much, really. Now, we wait. The candidates will be doing their final pushes in that state, and in NH as well. Soon enough, the voters will participate in the only poll that matters and we'll have our answers.
As difficult as it is to be patient, that's the only thing to do. We'll find out. The reality is that both states will be close, which will mean that the limited number of delegates from those state will be divided pretty evenly. Neither has a huge delegation going to the national convention, so it probably won't make much difference in the actual results this summer.
Keep an eye on the March 1 Super Tuesday primaries. They're the ones that are going to really make a difference and probably the ones that will indicate pretty clearly who the Democratic nominee will be. Neither camp should be celebrating a good poll result, when the other side also has a good poll result. Mixed results just mean that we'll have to wait until the actual day of the caucuses or primary election to find out.
