New polling confirms what everyone already knows
Sen. Obama is running the table in the early caucus and primary states, tied for first in both Iowa and New Hampshire.
In a Concord Monitor poll, Sen. Obama received 21% support in New Hampshire. Sen. Hillary Clinton — who was trouncing Sen. Obama by a whopping 23 percentage points just one month ago — received 22%. John Edwards received 16%.
A Research 2000 poll of Iowa caucusers shows Sen. Obama and Edwards tied at 22%, with Sen. Clinton receiving 10% support.
Additionally, Sen. Obama edged out prominent Republicans Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani in head-to-head match-ups in Iowa:
If Obama were running in 2008 against Romney, 43 percent said they would pick Obama and 28 percent they would choose Romney. … Obama would lead McCain with 42 percent of respondents’ approval versus 39 percent. … If the race were between Obama and Giuliani, 43 percent of respondents said they would pick Obama and 38 percent said they would pick Giuliani.

You left out perhaps the most compelling poll… Iowa super-fans favor Obama over Hurricane Ditka by a 44% to 38% margin. And yes… that’s the same Hurricane that beat Hillary by a 98% to -4% margin.
