President 2012 Iowa GOP Poll Watch: Bachmann 29% Romney 16% Pawlenty 8% Cain 8%

According to the latest Magellan Strategies Poll.

Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies today released the results of an autodial survey of 1,024 likely 2012 Iowa Republican Caucus attendees.  The survey finds Michele Bachmann in the lead with 29% support.  Her nearest challenger is Mitt Romney with 16%, followed by Tim Pawlenty and Herman Cain with 8%.  Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich have 5% support, Rick Santorum has 3%, the generic “some other candidate” has 2% and 24% of respondents are undecided. 

 Michele Bachmann has broad support across all voting subgroups, with particular strength among men and social conservatives.  Among the 44% of respondents that identified themselves as a member of the Tea Party movement, Michele Bachmann leads by 33 points.

Yes, it looks like Michele Bachmann is on her way to a win in Iowa, but Sarah Palin and Rick Perry remain wild cards in this race.

Looks like Romney was wise not to waste any money in Iowa and concentrate in New Hampshire and Nevada.
