Pollspot: Iowa, NH, and National

While Senator Clinton has lost some of her power since I've been away in Europe, I still believe that she can and will win the Democratic Party's nomination. More importantly, I still believe in her. Here are some polls courtesy of Political Wire:

Iowa:

The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll shows Sen. Barack Obama leading the Democratic field with 33%, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 29%, Edwards at 20% and Gov. Bill Richardson at 8%.

Key finding: "Each of the leading contenders appears to enjoy distinct advantages. More of Obama's backers said they are certain to participate than did those who have gotten behind Clinton. But Clinton's supporters are the most committed and enthusiastic, and Edwards counts among his supporters experienced caucus attendees who are more likely to turn out again."

New Hampshire:

A new CNN/WMUR poll shows Sen. Hillary Clinton regaining her lead in New Hampshire -- thanks to a boost in support from older Democratic voters. Clinton leads with 38%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama with 26% and John Edwards at 14%.

In the Republican race, Mitt Romney is still out in front with 34%, followed by Sen. John McCain at 22% and Rudy Giuliani at 16%.

National:

A new Reuters/Zogby national poll shows Mike Huckabee surging into a virtual tie with Rudy Giuliani in the Republican presidential race. Huckabee is now just one point behind Giuliani, 23% to 22%.

Among Democrats, Sen. Hillary Clinton's national edge also shrunk, though she's still eight points ahead of Sen. Barack Obama, 40% to 32%.
