Clinton Increases Iowa Lead Over Sanders
Clinton Vows Executive Action to Stop Earnings Stripping
Hillary Clinton has expanded her lead over Bernie Sanders in Iowa to nine points among likely Democratic caucus-goers thanks to support from women, seniors, the wealthy and concerns over terrorism. Yet if the Vermont Senator can turn out first-time caucus goers and younger Iowans, he could pose a threat to the former secretary of state.
Six weeks before the first nominating contest of the 2016 election, Clinton is the top choice for 48 percent of Democratic likely caucus goers, compared with Sanders at 39 percent, according to a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll. In an October survey, Clinton led Sanders 42 percent to 37 percent, though that match-up also included Joe Biden.
