Barack Obama now leads in Iowa at 30%, with Clinton in second with 26%, and Edwards still in third at 22%, but all within the margin of error.
Illinois Senator Barack Obama gets the support of 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared to 26 percent for Clinton, 22 percent for former senator John Edwards and 11 percent for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. The results are only marginally changed from a Post-ABC poll in late July, but in a state likely to set the course for the rest of the nominating process, there are significant signs of progress for Obama — and harbingers of concern for Clinton.
Iowa is critical for Obama, not so much for Clinton. So right now all eyes are on Obama in Iowa, the only hope he has of taking his campaign forward. Even as small as this lead is it is has got to come as a welcome sign of hope.
