Josh Marshall: "A new poll just out from Franklin Pierce Univ./WBZ has McCain 37% and Romney 31% in NH."
Douglas Burns (via The Iowa Independent: "I expect Barack Obama to win the Democratic Iowa presidential caucuses Thursday night. He has succeeded in turning lightning in a bottle, that transcendent speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, into an enduring legacy and boots-on-the-ground effective campaign in Iowa."

From Mitt Romney's weblog: "Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced endorsements from five more Colorado state legislators. These supporters, who are in addition to Governor Romney's already-robust legislative leadership team in the state, will help Governor Romney's campaign organize at the grassroots level and communicate his message of conservative change in Washington. The new supporters are State Sen. Josh Penry and State Reps. Cory Gardner, Larry Liston, Frank McNulty, and Rob Witwer. These five legislators are often referred to as some of the rising stars of the Colorado Republican Party."
Political Wire: "A new Suffolk University/7NEWS tracking poll of likely New Hampshire primary voters shows Sen. Hillary Clinton leading Sen. Barack Obama, 37% to 20%, with John Edwards back at 16%. Among Republican primary voters, Sen. John McCain leads with 32%, followed by Mitt Romney at 23%, Rudy Giuliani at 11%, Mike Huckabee at 10%, and Rep. Ron Paul at 8%."
Political Wire: "'On the eve of the Iowa caucuses, Rudy Giuliani's once solid lead in nationwide polling of Republican voters has vanished,' according to a new Pew Research survey. The poll finds roughly equal levels of support for Sen. John McCain (22%), Rudy Giuliani (20%), and Mike Huckabee (17%). Giuliani's support has slipped 13 points since September, while Huckabee has gained 13 points and McCain has gained 6 points. 'The drop in support for Giuliani has occurred across all segments of the GOP electorate.' Meanwhile, the Democratic race has remained largely stable nationwide with Sen. Hillary Clinton with a 20 points lead over Sen. Barack Obama, 46% to 26%, with John Edwards holding at 14%."
Political Wire: "A new CNN/WMUR survey in New Hampshire finds Sen. John McCain and Mitt Romney tied for first place in next week's primary with 29% each -- 'a huge comeback for the Arizona senator, who was written off by many pundits after his campaign imploded earlier in the year. Six months ago, he placed fourth in the same poll, with support just barely in double digits.' Rudy Giuliani is third with 12%, followed by Mike Huckabee at 10%. The Democratic primary race is also neck-and-neck with Sen. Hillary Clinton in a statistical tie with Sen. Barack Obama. Clinton leads with 34%, followed by Obama at 30% and John Edwards at 17%."
