Yes, I also check the RCP poll averages but at times it keeps in its count polls that were taken ten-fifteen days earlier, such as a CNN/Time poll taken early December which is in today’s RCP average of Iowa.
Ten days in politics is a life time, so let us focus on the Iowa polls that were taken and released this week (PPP; Insider’s and Rasmussen. All but one day of ARG was taken last week so it is not in this count): Newt Gingrich gets 23%; Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are tied at 18.6%; Rick Perry has 10.6% support; Michele Bachmann is almost equal with 10% backing; Rick Santorum retains 7%; and Jon Huntsman shows 4.6% support.
