Showing Original Post only (View all)WHAT TROUBLE? CLINTON HAS EARLY LOCK ON IOWA CAUCUS, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS [View all]
Last edited Thu May 7, 2015, 09:38 AM - Edit history (1)
With 60 percent of the vote among Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton has an early lock on the first-in-the-nation presidential test, apparently
undamaged by a nationwide flood of negative publicity, according to a Quinnipiac University
poll released today.
This compares to a 61 percent Clinton showing in Iowa in a February 26 survey by the
independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has 15 percent among Democrats, with 11 percent
for Vice President Joseph Biden and 3 percent each for former U.S. Sen. James Webb of
Virginia and former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley. Another 7 percent are undecided.
Clinton and Biden each get 7 percent on the no way list when likely Democratic Caucus
participants name a candidate they would definitely not support. Sanders gets 6 percent.
Iowa Democrats say 76 17 percent that Clinton is honest and trustworthy, with Biden
at 84 10 percent.
One thing is obvious about Iowa Democratic Caucus participants: They are loyal as the
day is long, at least when it comes to Hillary Clinton, said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of
the Quinnipiac University Poll. The former secretary of state has taken a major pounding in the
news media and from her political opponents over her e-mail and family foundation. So far
these criticisms have had absolutely no effect on her standing among Iowa Democrats.

BTW-I regret the caps but I copied the text and the headline verbatim. I wasn't about to mess with somebody else's work product nor take the time to rewrite it.

OP
Perhaps for the record of the past of non scandals it is just another chapter in the list

Sorry, but I will criticize actions I think are wrong -- and I think she should have abided

That sounds as if you are saying Iowa which voted for Obama would not vote for a Jewish candidate.

The real question is why YOU would equate the words "All American types" with being non-Jewish

Although, I appreciate your post MADem, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

The confusion is that Jewish refers to a religion as well as a heritage (unlike say "Irish")

Neither is Hillary Clinton - or O'Malley, better known for playing a guitar. nt

Clinton looks like a former cheerleader. The "rules," too, are still being written for women.

At least you apologized. That doesn't happen here very often. That's a start.

The Dartmouth poll you and Steve Lesser are citing is the first poll in the link

I don't have ready access to that polling data, but IIRC someone posted it here

The largest lead Secretary of State Clinton had in any 08 IA poll was 17%...

I didn't bother to count them, one by one, but my statement is factually correct:

Yes, just like the statement that Giuliani was going to beat Clinton in 2008 is factually correct.

You are in the right for not tampering with someone else's work product.

I see no reason to be enthusiastic (or pessimistic) about a poll that means nothing.

And then the criminal Nixon was elected! And you are hoping for a repeat of that?

Very impressive! I believe Obama had the lead in IA at this point in his first candidacy
