Sanders Leads Clinton In Iowa By 8 Points
- The Hill, Friday, January 22, 2016 12:11 PM
A new CNN-ORC poll published yesterday has Sen. Bernie Sanders with 51% of the primary vote in Iowa and puts Hillary Clinton at 43%. Barely one month ago, Clinton had a strong 18% lead in the state. Clinton staffers are panicking yet, though. Iowa voters being mostly white and of the progressive cloth play to Sanders’ strengths, Clinton supporters believe. They hope to show their superiority in reaching minority voters in South Carolina and Nevada later on in February.
