Rep. Michele Bachmann has significantly expanded her lead among Iowa conservatives, according to a new poll conducted by the 2012 Iowa Report. The poll finds Bachmann with 40% support among Iowa conservatives, more than triple four other possible contenders registering in double digits (Ron Paul, 12%; Sarah Palin, 12%, Herman Cain, 11%, Mitt Romney, 10%).
Bachmann’s polling numbers among Iowa conservatives have been rapidly increasing over the past several weeks and could serve as a leading indicator of her position among Republicans in the state. Bachmann moved from 33% support one week ago to 40% support this week among conservatives at the same time she has been climbing other statewide polls. Perhaps just as significantly, nearly a third of Iowa conservatives now think Bachmann will “ultimately win” the Iowa caucuses.
