Sanders Maintains Lead in Iowa, New Quinnipiac Survey Finds



JANUARY 27, 2016





WASHINGTON – With just days left to go before the first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses, a new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows Sen. Bernie Sanders maintaining a four-point lead over Secretary Hillary Clinton in Iowa.

Sanders’ lead is built on support from younger voters in the state. Likely caucusgoers surveyed between the ages of 18 and 44 favor Sanders over Clinton 78 percent to 21 percent.

Iowans surveyed listed the economy as their highest priority, followed by health care and climate change — all topics Sanders has worked to inject into the 2016 presidential primary. Likely caucusgoers who say the economy is the most important issue for them favor Sanders 53 percent to 41 percent.

Sanders is spending the morning in Washington meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House. He returns to Iowa tonight for a rally in Mason City.

7. That is up from 60% for that group from a few weeks ago.

That is really something.

9. That fits my experience here in Minnesota that most Hillary supporters...

...are older women who only care about a woman being president along with union functionaries with their heads too far up in the ass of the party to listen to the union members under them.

4. 2% are undecided, and 19% of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.

Iowa is essentially a tie according to this poll

The site owner leans HRC, while the site remains neutral in its endorsement.

13. Disappointing to see Wonkette's

choice of icons for Governor O'Malley, who has brought an intelligent and dedicated campaign to voters.

And who is owed respect by anybody who values this process.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. Agreed

6. K&R

[WillyT]

10. Huge K & R !!!

[saltpoint]

12. It would be kinda fun to be

among a large group of Sanders supporters on the night of the caucus, bundling up with longjohns and thermal shirts and what not, and beating a path over to stand up for the good Senator from Vermont.

Real, real fun, actually.

Go, Bernie.
