Sanders outperforms Clinton against GOP in NH, poll says

“People just haven’t heard almost as many negative arguments against Sanders as they have against Clinton”, Nyhan said, noting how some Republicans have actually tried to boost the Sanders campaign.

In my view, this debate did little to advance the ranking of any of the candidates. “Berne is talking about a pretty aggressive plan and I would like to see what plan she has”. All three of the candidates maintained the positions they have supported and did so forcefully but respectfully.

“I am afraid of another meltdown like The Big Short”, John said, referencing a recent movie about the 2008 market crash. According the RCP Average, O’Malley is polling at around 5% of the Iowa Caucus predictions.

Sanders shot back that Clinton was being “disingenuous” during the Sunday night debate, proudly waving his “D-” rating from the NRA to prove to the audience his efforts in curbing gun lobbying influence.

Sanders also knows he lacks foreign policy experience, particularly next to Clinton’s four years as secretary of state. As for the new poll and Hillary’s negative trajectory overall, I generally agree with this: Despite the DNC’s transparent efforts, and their hapless chairwoman’s hilarious lies about it, it appears that the Democratic nominating contest will not be the wire-to-wire coronation Hillary was banking on. The two candidates are neck-and-neck in the critical state of Iowa, but Clinton hold double-digit leads nationally.

Taking a page out of Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s playbook, Sanders has recently started opening his remarks with lengthy references to his improving poll numbers. And so, she’s trying to use him to her benefit at a crucial time in this state, where it’s a very competitive race – Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, neck and neck – and it’s been that way pretty much since the summer.

In addition to a full slate of town halls, rallies and organizing events, Clinton has deployed high-profile surrogates like actress Lena Dunham, U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach, Sen.

Sanders also has a 44-point advantage among men and a 14-point advantage among women.

“We wanted this to be a statement of what a Hillary Clinton would be as a president”, Lee said. “I don’t see him making inroads there”. “So why don’t we invest more in infrastructure?”

However, a different story was told during the Democratic presidential debate in which Sanders’ name was elevated. “And to get a large voter turnout, there has to be excitement – enthusiasm at the grassroots level”.
