IA-08: Proof that Richardson is surging in Iowa
A few days ago, the Richardson Campaign released their own that put him in third place, narrowly ahead of Barack Obama and just a few points behind Hillary Clinton. Of course, strategically speaking, every campaign would release their own polling data if it made their candidate look better.
But other polls are showing a similar gain for Richardson. No, the New Mexico Governor is not in third. However, he is gaining fast. A new , due for release over the next few days, shows Richardson gaining ground:
IOWA DEMOCRATS
John Edwards - 26%
Barack Obama - 21%
Hillary Clinton - 20%
Bill Richardson - 11%
Little-by-little, Richardson is crawling into the top-tier. He is not there yet. Though, he has something going for him. The Southwest is Richardson's strong area, being that he is the Governor of New Mexico. Luckily, in 2008 Nevada heads to the polls right after Iowa, and just days before New Hampshire. Look for Richardson's Campaign to focus almost all of its resources on Iowa and Nevada. If he were to win one of those two contests, the added media hype could vault him ahead in other early states, such as New Hampshire, South Carolina and California.
