Hillary Clinton brushes off Trump’s swipes at Bill
Hillary Rodham Clinton is brushing off Donald Trump’s persistent swipes at her husband, the former president.
Hillary Clinton’s voice plays over the clip, during which the former first lady, senator and secretary of state is heard proclaiming: “Women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights, once and for all”.
Similar to Iowans, likely New Hampshire voters give Sanders a greater edge than Clinton over Republicans Trump and Cruz. He’s followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 12%, Cruz at 10%, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 9% each.
In Iowa, Clinton has 48 percent, compared to 45 percent for Sanders. Martin O’Malley trails both rivals in the race.
Cruz leads Trump by four points among likely Republican caucus-goers at 28 percent to 24 percent, within the margin of error of 4.6 percentage points.
Interestingly (and horrifyingly), both candidates are framing much of this debate around who is best suited to “protect Obama’s legacy”. Sanders also outpolled Texas Sen.
“The stakes are too high, the costs are too dear, and I am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for common sense reforms and along with you, achieve those on behalf of all who have been lost because of this senseless gun violence in this country”, she said in June.
The GOP numbers are essentially unchanged among the larger pool of potential Republican voters in New Hampshire. Marco Rubio at 13% and Ben Carson at 11%, with no other candidates topping 5%. “And that’s why I have outlined a very significant agenda to raise wages and to take on the gun lobby and to be making America safe in every way that I can”, she said.
“The Democratic contests in Iowa and New Hampshire could still go either way”, Mr. Miringoff said. In October, the Vermont senator held a nine-point lead over Clinton.
“Two days later, the campaign sent another fundraising email mentioning the “(seriously!) tight” polls in New Hampshire.
And up Rubio is up by five points over Clinton (47 percent to 42 percent), while he’s tied with Sanders (44 percent to 44 percent). “Let the voters judge that”, Clinton told CBS news in an interview. This new NBC News poll, meanwhile, is more in line with the polling we saw out of New Hampshire in November and December that showed Sanders still leading there, but much more narrowly than in the past. The New Hampshire survey of 425 probable Democratic primary voters had the same margin of error.
