Pollspot: From Iowa to Pennsylvania

Two new polls brought by Political Wire show Edwards edging out his competitors in Iowa while Clinton continues to do well in Pennsylvania. For GOP, Romney continues to perform well in Iowa and holds a steady lead. I really wish the Quinnipiac Poll would stop using Al Gore.

Iowa:

A new Strategic Vision (R) poll in Iowa shows John Edwards leading the Democratic presidential race with 23%, followed closely by Sen. Barack Obama at 22% and Sen. Hillary Clinton at 21%. Gov. Bill Richardson is fourth with 14%.

On the Republican side, Mitt Romney is way out in front with 31%, followed by Fred Thompson at 15%, Rudy Giuliani at 13%, Sen. John McCain at 8% and Mike Huckabee at 8%.
