CNN to hold Iowa Democratic town hall
Lee, a staunch Clinton supporter, who has known the democratic presidential candidate for decades, says the Children’s Museum was an ideal spot for Tuesday’s fundraiser. The latest poll shows Clinton at a 71 percent to 21 percent advantage, an increase from her 61 percent to 18 percent lead in December.
“Are you ready to make America great again?” she said repeating Trump’s campaign slogan in a 20-minute speech filled with Palinisms like “pussy-footin'”, “hallelujah” and “you betcha”, according to CNN. Male voters there are more than 90 percent white and favor Sanders by such a wide margin that it has almost overcome the lead Clinton has with women. The poll included more than 900 randomly selected Granite State adults – 413 likely Republican primary voters and 420 likely Democratic primary voters. When Biden was included in the poll, Clinton led with 60 percent followed by Biden with 16 percent, Sanders with 15 percent and O’Malley slipping back to 2 percent.
Even Donald Trump’s talking about Bernie Sanders.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was in Charlotte Tuesday for a private fundraiser, but she may be spending a lot more time in the Carolinas.
Sanders was “a pioneer on this early version of gay marriage and has by far the most exemplary record on gay rights of any candidate ever in American history”, Briggs said in an interview with The Washington Blade.
Sanders has always been well-liked, compared with Clinton.
In Iowa, where the first caucus of the primary season takes place February 1, Sanders is now neck-and-neck with Clinton.
Sanders also has astonishingly high favorability ratings among those likely to vote in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary, and is broadly seen as the candidate with the “personal characteristics and qualities that you think a president should have”.
It’s just one poll, but it’s consistent with what we know about the intra-party bases of the two Democrats.
Sanders and his opponent Hillary Clinton are both revving up their ground campaigns here in Iowa.
The poll was conducted by University of New Hampshire Survey Center for CNN/WMUR and polled 972 New Hampshire adults by telephone.
