Latest Strategic Vision Poll in Iowa: Fred Thompson surges, Ron Paul crashes, Hillary 3rd

46% of the Iowan GOP likely caucus goers want to cut and run in the next 6 months?!

[saganite]

I wouldn’t call it a surge, he was polling 11% in the last poll. 4th place is not good enough. He said himself he needed to place 3rd.

[geopyg]

Leave Iraq in 6 months with 46% yes and 13% not sure???? And these are Republicans? From now on when folks ask if I’m dem or republican I will say neither - I’m a Conservative.

This has been a problem for awhile. When President Bush first got elected a liberal office-mate said she didn’t like him. I said I didn’t love him either - he wasn’t conservative enough for me.

In the previous two Strategic Vision Iowa polls, Thompson polled at 16% then 15% followed by 13% in this one.

In the previous two Strategic Vision Iowa polls, Paul polled at 5% then 4% and now 4%.

I’m interested in your concepts of ‘surge’ and ‘crash’...

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Let's give it a +/- 5 %

So ? if we can add that to Fred's, then, he is doing about 18 % .... would that apply to Mitt and Huck ? why or why not does that not apply to Mitt or Huck ?

Hilarious, isn't it?

By definition you don't know how or to who the margin of error applies to. If you want to apply +5 to your favorites and subtract -5 from the ones you don't like, knock yourself out, but it has no basis in anything real.

[Cowboy Bob]

If I understand correctly, in the Iowa Caucus, if your candidate gets less than 15% support, then the caucus goers can switch to another candidate.

I've seen polls that show that very few people have Hillary as a second choice.

I'd like to see all the Richardson, Biden and Dodd supporters throw their support to either Obama or Edwards!

[Aria]

I’m a Fred supporter but what do you mean “surge”? I saw your headline thinking it would be great news and it isn’t.

[Utah Binger]

Charisma 33% ?

[Shady]

I think he’s a nut.
The Queen of Denial coming in THIRD? How DARE you Iowans!!!
(pssst..Show her who is BOSS! ; )

[Utah Binger]

Leave Iraq in 6 months with 46% yes and 13% not sure????

I'm with you on that one. Hard to imagine where they find these 600 idiots.

[Utah Binger]

[codercpc]

So in other words the correct headline should read...

Romney and McCain surge, Fred loses 2%, Huck loses 1%

[skinkinthegrass]

Fred is doing better than 13% in Iowa....
Agree...but, All Iowans should vote...vote for FRed. :)

[Freedom4US]

That’s what the pollsters would like you to believe.

The delusions among Fred supporters on FR are spreading faster than herpes at a Playboy party. Let's keep hold on reality, people.

I only lived there for a brief time though long enough to meet my wife so I still go back to see the family. That being said, I will say that, as a group, Iowans are some of the most unpredictable people I’ve encountered. They might love the GOP/Democrats, but then detest everything for which the party stands.

[PreciousLiberty]

Fred Thompson ‘08!

[Thermalseeker]

And Fred will surprise a lot of people...

That's what has been going around in my mind for about a week now. I think Fred is going to surprise a lot of folks come Thursday.....
