Sanders Surging In Iowa

A new Quinnipiac poll in Iowa finds Sen. Bernie Sanders now leading Hillary Clinton, 49% to 44%.

Said pollster Peter Brown: “After three months of Secretary Hillary Clinton holding an average 10-point lead among Iowa Democrats, the playing field has changed. Sen. Sanders’ surge seems based on the perception by Iowa Democrats that he is a better fit for Iowans. They see him, by solid double digit margins as more sharing their values, more honest and trustworthy and viewed more favorably overall than is Secretary Clinton.”

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Clinton now leads Sanders by just six points, 46% to 40%. Clinton held an 18-point lead last month.
