The poll was released just after fivethirtyeight.com posted a story titled The Bernie Sanders Surge Appears to be Over. The argument made in the piece is that Bernie cut the Clintons lead in half in Iowa in just a few months, and came within a stones throw of her in New Hampshire.
Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who has been drawing huge crowds around the country, is running strongest in New Hampshire, where he started the race better known because of his long representation of Vermont. He still trails by wide margins in national polls.
But many Democrats obviously find her untrustworthy, also. I don’t think Bernie Sanders will be the nominee, but Hillary Clinton has a lot of work to do if she wants to be.
Gore, 67, won the popular vote in the 2000 election and has been mentioned as a possible candidate in every contested Democratic primary since then. One of his very first was letting go of Roger Stone, who told Trump to focus on other things instead of making controversial comments. He’s kept his lead despite his very public rumble with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly at last week’s debate, when she questioned past comments he’s made about women.
The former Secretary of State has never been surpassed before.
FBI officials have also been keen to get a look at the server, likely not as part of an investigation targeting Clinton, but to test whether it was hacked and foreign intelligence services or others stole classified information.
Clinton said Walker enjoyed “making it harder for students to get scholarships or to pay off their debt, eliminating the opportunities for young people who are doctors or dentists to actually work in underserved areas in return for having their debt relieved” and “ending scholarship for poor kids”. “We’re trying to run a campaign which is not negative, but which talks to the needs of middle class and working families, which creates an economy that works for everybody and not a handful of billionaires”.
