Des Moines Register Iowa Democratic Poll Coming Today

Sanders who describes himself as an independent socialist Democrat is edging Clinton in Iowa a middle-of-the-country farm state by 49 to 44 percent according to a Quinnipiac University poll of Iowa Democrats released Tuesday.

A new poll by the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics showed Clinton beating Sanders in Iowa by 42 percent to 40 percent. Hillary Clinton has challenged Sanders on taxes, guns and health care in the last week, and Sanders has responded by charging that her campaign is getting desperate.

Clinton’s daughter Chelsea used a similar line of attack earlier this week, prompting scrutiny, with Sanders defenders and health policy experts pointing out that those health care programs would no longer be necessary in a single payer “Medicare for all” system where everyone would be covered under a government plan. When President Obama had majorities in both chambers of Congress, I sat in the White House for a year pressing for the public option, a much easier lift that was, let’s be honest, a bridge fuel to single payer, and got nowhere. “This is not a job they give away, you really do have to work hard for it. It is the hardest job in the world, so I get up every day and go right at it”. “Nonetheless, polls show that Sanders-even as he still introduces himself to many voters-is well poised to take on the eventual GOP nominee, frequently doing better than Clinton in these matchups”. And it sounds to me like you’re saying that wall has to be broken down.

Clinton wants to point out that Sanders’ plan would require a massive tax increase.

She added, “I find it pretty exciting”.

Sanders’ visit to the Ivy League school in Hanover, New Hampshire was greeted with an endorsement from former National Democratic Party Chair, Paul Kirk. Polls this week show Sanders, a Vermont senator, in the lead in neighboring New Hampshire, and showing strong gains in first-to-vote Iowa.

The Democratic frontrunner’s campaign organized a news conference call with reporters on Thursday, following the release of a new ad by the Bernie Sanders campaign that it deemed to be “negative”. “I’m asking Senator Sanders does the same thing”. The other two were Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Barack Obama in 2008.

“She also, unlike Sen”.

However, the magazine’s editors noted that Sanders faces an uphill battle in the race against Hillary Clinton, pointing to his lack of deep support among minority voters.
