Likely Democratic caucusgoers in Iowa are divided on whether it is more important to continue the state's caucus tradition as the first test of Democratic presidential candidates or to switch to a primary, a new CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll shows
Forty-two percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers said they want to continue the state's caucus system, which has traditionally made the Hawkeye State the center of the early months of presidential campaigns, even if it means not everyone who wants to can participate.
Kevin Cavallin, a moderate Democrat who still hasn't officially decided which candidate to support in February, is an adamant supporter of the caucus system. "The problem with that notion is the fact that New Hampshire is the first primary. If Iowa switches to a primary system, that violates New Hampshire and Iowa's agreement ... and to me that's unacceptable," he told CNN."I mean, it sounds selfish, but at the same time, I think the caucus system works.
