Barack Obama is officially ahead in Iowa, according to the latest ABC News / Washington Post poll.

Amongst likely Iowa caucus-goers, 30% support Obama, 26% support Clinton, and 22% support Edwards.
Obama also leads among those who are "certain to attend" the January 3rd caucus, those who have previously caucused, and those who are planning to caucus for the first time.
Obama doubled Clinton's support among Independent voters (Obama 35% to Clinton 18%) another indicator that he will be the strongest candidate going into the general election
Better yet for the Obama camp is that only a third of Iowa Democrats now say "strength and experience" is more important to them in a candidate; 55 percent instead put more emphasis on "a new direction and new ideas," which he's tried to make his trademark.
Obama leads as a second choice candidate with 26%, Edwards at 24% and Clinton at 19%.

These trends reflect the enormous effort of the Obama campaign and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to spread Barack's message and educate voters. This is the best run campaign in Iowa and nationally, hands down.
