New Poll Shows Obama Up by 15 in Iowa

Barack Obama is leading John McCain 55% to 40% in Iowa in a new Time/CNN poll. Surprisingly, Obama is leading those 65 and older by 11%, 54% to 43%.

Obama has continued to lead McCain in Iowa, but this is the largest lead that I have seen by Obama. Both candidates visited the state a few times since securing their parties nomination, but I think McCain has too much ground to make up after skipping the Iowa caucuses. Obama campaigned all over the state throughout 2007. Iowans know who Barack Obama is and it is looking like he has Iowa's electoral votes locked up.
