At this point, we should be having a great idea of where things stand. Wisconsin and Arizona close. Iowa closes as well. Ann Selzer has been showing Iowa is a tight race and whether this is the last year she is a pollster will be determined at this point. One thing to note with Selzer's polls is the massive disparity between men and women. Again, we'll have a lot of data before Iowa to see if this is actually panning out in the voting booth.

And Ann Selzer is out of polling. Indeed, she usually was good, but something was really botched in her last Iowa poll, which I wish didn't happen to remove the Dewey beats Truman vibe. She notes she was retiring now as of last year. The goods news for the Des Moines Register is that Iowa doesn't need polling anything. It is beet red! I remember when it was purple. Of course, that was also when Virginia was red.
