Across the state there are 102,348 more registered Democrats that registered Republicans. In 2004 during this time, the Republicans lead by over 7,000 votes, according to David Yepsen at the DesMoines Register. With the rise of registered Democrats and Obama ahead in the polls by nine percent, Yepsen forsees a significant growth of influence for the Democrats in Iowa for the next few years.
The Iowa arena increaslingly leans toward Obama. From the 50-day benchmark of the election cycle, Obama's chances of taking Iowa has inreased each day. One contigency factor is the Bradley Effect, which may pop it's ugly head up in several states this fall.
