There’s a new Iowa poll out by Mason-Dixon Polling. 400 Democratic and 400 Republican likely caucus-goers. With a margin of error of plus-or-minus 5%.

Mitt Romney, who’s spent millions on advertising there already, still leads the GOP pack with 25%. Fred Thompson, who has yet to declare, is second at 17%. Rudy Giuliani, who returned to Iowa today for the first time in over a month, is third at 15%. You’ll never guess who’s fourth--Mike Huckabee at 7%.

Then, wait for it, comes Sam Brownback and one-time frontrunner John McCain now tied for fifth with 6% each.

On the Democratic side another surprise. John Edwards, who had been leading in Iowa, now trails Hillary Clinton slightly, 21-22. Barack Obama is third with 18%, followed by Bill Richardson at 6% and Joe Biden at 4%.
