Clinton tops Iowa polls ahead of Fry
Hillary Clinton still has a commanding lead over the rest of the potential 2016 Democratic presidential field in Iowa, a new poll says.
According to a CNN/ORC International poll released Friday, 53 percent of registered Iowa Democratic voters would vote for the former secretary of State in 2016. Her numbers dwarf the rest of the field — Vice President Joe Biden received 15 percent of the vote, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren got 7 percent and Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders drew 5 percent.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton will be in attendance at Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s final annual steak fry in Indianola on Sunday. The Iowa event — the state with the first presidential nominating contest — has long been particularly popular among Democratic presidential hopefuls.
Friday’s survey reports that Clinton maintains a major edge among female voters, gaining 63 percent of registered women Democrats to Biden’s 10 percent.
Clinton held an even bigger lead in a recent USA Today/Suffolk University Iowa poll, in which she gained 66 percent of the vote, compared with Warren at 10 percent and Biden at 8 percent.
