DES MOINES, Iowa -- Having trouble keeping track of all the different poll, not to mention the campaigns' spin and counterspin on them? To helpe clear up some of the confusion -- and also make the case that its candidate is doing better than the Des Moines Register poll suggests -- the Edwards camp has released a short memo averaging the nine Iowa polls released since Christmas (MSNBC/McClatchy, Strategic Vision, Insider Advantage, the average of the Zogby/C-SPAN tracking survey, Research 2000, another Strategic Vision, Des Moines Register, CNN, and LA Times).
The average has Clinton at 28.2%, Obama at 27.5%, and Edwards at 26.3%
