Here’s a little stat for Iowans to remember as they prepare to caucus today.

From the latest Harper’s Index:

The portion of Americans in 1997 who thought that the American people had a “good deal” of political wisdom: 1 in 2. The portion who think so today: 1 in 4.



Dear Hawkeyes, make us proud and get it right.
Exercise a “good deal” of political wisdom tonight.

My prediction? It’s going to be close, but here’s my best guess.
GOP: (1) Cruz, (2) Trump, (3) Rubio, (4) Carson
Democrats: (1) Sanders, (2) Clinton
