A poll released on Tuesday shows the Vermont senator with an nearly 30-point lead over Hillary Clinton. “If you nominate Trump or Cruz”, Graham told reporters, “I think you get the same outcome”.

The former secretary of state added that she spoke “to so many different groups” after leaving the Obama administration in 2013.
Betsy Burton, 71, an independent voter in New Hampshire, says she sees a parallel between Obama’s successful run in 2008 and Sanders’ quest this year for the Democratic nomination, saying she senses that Sanders instills the same level of excitement that Obama generated eight years ago.
Clinton devoted most of her speech to fighting for women’s health and abortion rights. “Sometimes it can sound like he really hasn’t thought it through”.
Meanwhile, American Crossroads, a super PAC aligned with Republican strategist Karl Rove, released a digital ad in Iowa targeting Clinton’s ties to Wall Street – a tactic also used by Sanders.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is escalating her criticism of rival Sen.
The survey from CNN/ORC shows Mr. Sanders, who was trailing Mrs. Clinton significantly in early December, erasing her lead and overtaking her. Likely Democratic caucusgoers now back the Vermont senator over Mrs. Clinton by eight percentage points, 51 percent to 43 percent.
“I don’t think there is a single poll in America that would contradict the assertion that Bernie Sanders is doing much, much better with younger voters than Hillary Clinton”, Devine said.
How, actually, does this differ from Hillary herself just calling him a commie?
“We’re approaching panic mode for the Clinton campaign right now, because the entire argument for her candidacy so far has been basically her inevitability as a result of her wide name recognition and this tremendous political machine that she has behind her”, Markay said. But – and this is increasingly the central message of the Clinton campaign – “what they need now is not anger but answers”.
Clinton also took issue with comments Sanders made during the last Democratic debate, when he called to “move as aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran”.

In neither the debate nor the interview did Clinton note that her husband, Bill Clinton, signed the legislation into law. “So I’ll let your viewers make their own judgment”. “Iowa matters a ton, but it seems to be the campaign’s only focus”, said one person close to the campaign’s operations in a March state – one of almost a dozen Clinton allies with whom POLITICO spoke for this article. She said the brief concert was worthwhile for the candidate. The ad shows Sanders greeting mostly white supporters on the campaign trail, with the crowds’ sizes slowly increasing. “For example, he suggested we invite Iranian troops into Syria”. “Bernie Sanders represents that caricature that Republicans like to put forward”.
