How much credence does a poll from Seattle, with under 1,400 respondents, have? Did they take it from Starbucks patrons?

"“Barack Obama’s poll numbers in Iowa are looking a lot better than they did 6 weeks ago and that’s symbolic of the improvement he’s seen nationally over that period of time", said Dean Debnam… President of Public Policy Polling.

PPP surveyed 1,387 Iowa voters from May 27th to 30th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-2.6%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates."

Hey... Nate Silver from the NY Times assures us that this poll leans towards republicans.
