New data from the Des Moines Register<\/i> offers poll watchers plenty to mull over. Here’s how the Dems<\/a> rank in the first caucus state:<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton — 29% (up from 21% in May)
\nJohn Edwards — 23% (down from 29%)
\nBarack Obama — 22% (down from 23%)
\nBill Richardson — 8% (down from 10%)
\nJoe Biden — 5% (up from 3%)
\nChris Dodd — 1% (up from less than 1%)
\nDennis Kucinich — 1% (down from 2%)
\nMike Gravel — less than 1% (down from 1%)<\/p>\n

And among Republicans<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney — 29% (down from 30% in May)
\nFred Thompson — 18% (up from N\/A)
\nMike Huckabee — 12% (up from 4%)
\nRudy Giuliani — 11% (down from 17%)
\nJohn McCain — 7% (down from 18%)
\nTom Tancredo — 5% (up from 4%)
\nRon Paul — 4% (up from less than 1%)
\nAlan Keyes — 2% (up from N\/A)
\nSam Brownback — 2% (down from 5%)
\nDuncan Hunter — 1% (unchanged)<\/p>\n

As for analysis, the Dems’ standings don’t offer too many surprises, though I thought Dodd would be a little better off in Iowa than he is now. Among Republicans, if McCain finishes fifth, that’ll be pretty embarrassing. And Brownback and Hunter should probably reconsider this entire endeavor, now that their numbers in Iowa are on par with Alan Keyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
