Tue Apr 03, 2007 at 12:49:37 PM PDT

A new University of Iowa poll shows a Sen. John Edwards maintaining his clear lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in Iowa. Sen. Barack Obama finished in third place.

Democratic Voters (Likely Caucus Goers)
John Edwards      34.2
Hillary Clinton      28.5
Barack Obama    19.3

Full Poll Details

Iowa Democrats see Edwards as the most electable candidate.

Edwards' support among Democratic caucus goers appears to be linked to perceptions that he can win the presidential election. When given the statement  "Edwards is electable", 89.0 percent of Democratic caucus goers agreed. This was the highest percentage in the survey. Eighty-six point six percent of Democratic caucus goers believe Obama is electable; 76.5 percent feel Clinton is.

So continues Edwards' run of winning almost every single poll of likely Iowa caucus goers taken this year.

This diary is partially in response to this diary, which I thought reported the news from this poll in an oddly skewed manner.
