Interesting read in this post from the Iowa Starting Line website about the Feb. 1 Republican caucus. They call it today's Monday Power Rankings.
Here's their assessment:
- Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are 1-2.
- Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are 3-4.
- Chris Christie is in 5th but surging.
- Ben Carson is in 6th and falling.
It would be fun to share and discuss this with your students. Another good idea would be to find additional Iowa coverage supporting and contradicting this assessment. Polls from RealClearPolitics and the prediction market PredictIt would be good resources.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
