Sanders Takes Big Lead Now In Both Iowa And New Hampshire
Clinton needs to “rebound in a big way”, Markay said, or Sanders’ momentum could carry him to getting more donor cash. But with the caucuses approaching and polls tightening dramatically, she has stepped up her critique of Sanders.

Donald Trump fared even worse: 38 percent of those polled said he would be a awful president and 14 percent said he would be a poor president.
