Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage Poll: Gingrich in Dead Heat With Romney, Paul in Iowa

(Insider Advantage chief pollster Matt) Towery labeled as “nonsense” reports that any single candidate has locked up a victory in the Iowa caucuses as of today.

“They’re absolutely packed together,” Towery told Newsmax. “I suspect that the various campaigns know that because they’ve been so into wanting to fight each other and blast each other. That really is not the way you win Iowa. I think they’ve been realizing that this is such a bloodbath because they’re all so close that they are really doing everything they can to try and get through this.”

Although considerable attention has been paid to Iowa’s undecided voters, Towery said he doesn’t see the undecided voters figuring prominently in the home stretch.

Candidates more likely will have to focus on taking votes from each other.
