Too early for polls to be meaningful

If I recall correctly, the Iowa and Texas straw polls are in August.

Iowa Caucus is in January.

The Iowa Straw Poll is Aug 11 and it is a big deal. If anyone wants a good time and be able to cast a vote for your favorite candidate, Ames, IA is the place to be. It's a blast.

It is also politically significant. A couple of candidates dropped out shortly after the Straw Poll in 1999.
