Elizabeth Edwards' announcement that her cancer has returned and is not curable does not seem to have immediately impacted her husband's chances among Democratic caucus voters in the first-in-the-nation state of Iowa, according to a new survey.
A University of Iowa poll, which was taken between March 19-25, found that John Edwards' support trended upward among those most likely to caucus in January.
IOWA DEMOCRATS (Likely Caucus Goers)
John Edwards 36%
Hillary Clinton 34%
Barack Obama 14%
IOWA DEMOCRATS (Registered Dems)
Hillary Clinton 30%
John Edwards 23%
Barack Obama 11%
It appears that since the cancer announcement, both Edwards and Clinton benefited from an uptick, while Obama loss some support.
It should be noted that the likely caucus goers group was a subset poll which had a fairly small sample number.
