Okay, that last part is a slight misrepresentation. But, via Ryan Sager, the new University of Iowa poll shows some striking data about Republican opinions in the Hawkeye State. Just a few days before the Ames straw poll, Mitt Romney is sitting on a dramatically-widened lead, while Rudy Giuliani and John McCain plummet into the basement with the rest of the field:

Romney: 27% (+10)
Giuliani: 11% (-9)
Thompson: 7%
Brownback: 4%
Tancredo: 4%
McCain: 3% (-18)

Then there’s this:

One odd factoid: Barack Obama is the third choice of registered Republicans in the general election, after Mitt Romney and Mr. Giuliani, but ahead of Fred Thompson and Mr. McCain.

Fascinating.
