Less, where is Zogby getting his numbers? Because I read this earlier today:
Note that this poll was taken sponsored by a pro-Kerry 527

(1) There are so many state polls floating around that it's very hard to know which ones are worth paying attention to.
(2) According to an article I linked here a few days ago by Guy Molyneux in TAP, the important number to watch is not the spread between Bush and Kerry, but whether Bush is polling at 50% or higher. As a rule, incumbent presidents tend to poll just below or at the last polls, while the challengers pick up an average of 4% from the last poll. So I see the Iowa numbers that you posted here, and am heartened, because Bush is well below 50%. YMMV.
