Since jumping into the race earlier this year, Clinton’s support among African-American voters in Democratic polls has hovered around 70-80%.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, who received almost a quarter of the vote – up from the 5 percent he saw in March – and Vice President Joe Biden, who garnered 21 percent, the poll found. And, in fact, 75 percent of Democrats – in the Quinnipiac polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, all – 75 percent – so the issue is not important to them.
The reason Clinton maintains such a large lead there?
While campaigning in Iowa, Hillary Clinton pledged that she would push for policies to deal with sexual assault on college campuses through making government programs for victims “comprehensive, confidential and coordinated”.
She’s a heavy favorite to win the March 1 Texas primary.
“I know what we have to do to protect our security and to meet the big challenges”, she says.
It was considered a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton would essentially be handed the nomination for the Democratic party, but things have taken a bit of a different turn.
Clinton has continued sliding in national polling based on voters’ lack of trust in her, thanks in large part to how she has handled controversy over using a private email address for public work as secretary of state.
The shockwaves of Jeremy Corbyn’s election reached the shores of the United States today – as a presidential candidate came under fire for supporting him. “Now this gives us the opportunity to campaign in some of the states further down the calendar so that we can become known there as well”, says Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager.
The email, according to the Huffington Post, says the “similarities” between Corbyn and Sanders include Sanders’ support for reducing nuclear weapons, comments that suggest NATO’s expansion into former Eastern Europe are risky because it will upset Russian Federation and his opposition to shipping arms to countries like Iran and North Korea.

“Right now in too many places, survivors don’t know where to go or who to go to try and get help”, Clinton said. Among his likely voters, 44 percent said they would be OK with someone other than the senator, but among Clinton and Biden backers, 51 percent and 62 percent said the same, respectively.
