New poll shows Hillary Clinton running strong in Iowa

Vice President Joe Biden is spending part of his South Carolina vacation calling close friends to discuss a potential 2016 run, a longtime Democratic operative and a source close to Biden who had an extensive phone call with him this week confirmed to NBC News. Though most pundits say his odds of defeating her are still quite long, he is gaining ground on the former secretary of state in key states like Iowa and New Hampshire. As Trippi says, “We drew large crowds and lots of energy but there was always a fear among the party establishment that we couldn’t beat Bush“.

The question is: As Sanders becomes better known, how does his dot move? He’s filling arenas while the supposedly Inevitable II Hillary Clinton struggles in smaller venues.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is scheduled to visit Boone Saturday for a town hall meeting at the Boone County Fairgrounds.

Sanders is “tapping into a genuine sentiment” among those on the left who want “a left-wing message and a left-wing messenger”, according to Kristol, while there exists a “general shrugginess” about Clinton. It was Sanders’s first time leading a poll in the 2016 race, and Clinton’s first time trailing in one. That does not seem to have been hard for Biden, who shares much of President Barack Obama’s ideology.

“Bernie Sanders has basically become the liberal progressive alternative to Hillary Clinton“, University of New Hampshire Professor Dante Scala said. Three other Democrats – Martin O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb – register at 1% or less.

A new poll of voters in six crucial swing states says Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is trailing a non-specific Republican presidential nominee by 14 points.

Amid the supernova spectacle of Donald Trump and the epic inaugural GOP debate, Sanders has quietly been having a monster week all his own.

What’s more interesting is the fact that, according to the poll, Sanders’s favorability ratings and visibility is skyrocketing-Sanders barely registered with eight percent in a similar poll taken in March-while Clinton’s is either flatlining or declining.

More than half of the poll respondents said they viewed Sanders “very” favorably.
