What To Make of This Iowa Poll

There are new caucus polls out of Iowa on both sides, but there's also considerable grumbling about the way it was conducted.

IOWA GOP
Mitt Romney 36%
Rudy Giuliani 13%
Mike Huckabee 13%
Fred Thompson 11%

IOWA DEMS
Hillary Clinton 29%
Barack Obama 27%
John Edwards 20%

Pollster.com doesn't use the University of Iowa poll in its average because of its "unusual" questioning and sampling

From Pollster.com:

"This [open-ended question] undoubtedly provides a tougher test of voter commitment, but also produces a much bigger undecided and renders the results incomparable to other Iowa polls."
