Sanders overtakes Clinton in Iowa, new poll says

“I’ve got the scars to show for it, and I’m proud of every single one of them”.

“I think that Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real and he has credibility on” income inequality, Biden said in a CNN interview that aired Tuesday when he was asked why Clinton is struggling against Sanders, according to polls in early primary states.

Until now, Chelsea Clinton has shied away from directly naming Mr Sanders in her speeches. “I worry if we give Republicans Democratic permission to do that, we’ll go back to an era – before we had the Affordable Care Act – that would strip millions and millions and millions of people off their health insurance”.

Supporters said Clinton knows what she’s talking about. Though recent surveys show the Democratic presidential frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, still has a 15-point nationwide edge over the Vermont senator – 52 % to 37%, respectively. I would jump at the opportunity to vote for Clinton in the general election over any Republican.

The Quinnipiac poll’s administrators say Sanders’ surge appears to be based on caucus-goers’ belief that he’s a better fit for them. She said, “I really need your support in the upcoming caucus and I will promise you this”.

For supposedly being the presumptive front-runner for the Democrat Party nomination for president as the primaries near, Hillary Clinton’s trouble seem to be growing, not subsiding.

In December, the Quinnipiac poll had Clinton leading by 11 points. Bernie Sanders comes out on top with 49 percent of likely Iowa caucus voters choosing him over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Is the Clinton campaign nervous?

“If you’re going to go around saying you stand up to special interests then stand up to that most powerful special interest – stand up to the gun lobby”, she said, as she accepted the backing of a major gun control advocacy group. “But on the issue of guns, let me be very clear I support the president”. Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley received the support of four-percent. By double-digit margins, poll participants said Sanders more closely shares their values – and that he’s more honest and trustworthy, said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll.

Fifty-two percent of those polled said they are firm in their decision at this point in the race – but it’s important to keep in mind that polls are still volatile.
