So there is really no value other than a poll for what happened in Iowa, right?

That is my understanding. The polls are a farce for several reasons.

1. They cover a tiny fraction of the population.
2. Pollsters can target a group of people they know will respond to questions in a certain manner.
3. Pollsters can structure a question to elicit a given response (loaded question).
4. Pollsters can disregard any answers that don't coincide with their views.
