Ok, so let's see, she's averaging a 6.5 percent drop in support per month, and she currently has a 10% lead ahead of her closest rival, with at least two more months to go before the primaries start, which, IF her rate of decline remains steady (that's a BIG "if"), this may place her at about a minus 3 percent behind her closest rival, Barack Star on the day of the Iowa primaries. Since most of these polls have a plus or minus 3% margin of error, that means she'll be in a dead-heat on election day and just a small scattering of votes may decide the outcome.
BUT a small victory for Hill may (Ba)rock the foundations of the entire primary season, since 'ol girl has created the appearance of dominant inevitablity. 'Ol girl better get to step'in in Iowa.
