Both Clinton and Sanders have high favorability ratings, and voting for either candidate will leave most voters feeling either “enthusiastic” or “satisfied”.

Earlier Thursday, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said the campaign was “glad that Senator Sanders has changed his mind about a debate next week in New Hampshire”.
Clinton also leads over Sanders among female voters by 50 percent to 38 percent – but the spread is not as large as her 61 percent to 27 percent advantage last month.
“I’m different”, she tells AOL.com on the ground in Iowa. “I think Bernie Sanders will make Hillary Clinton a better president, a better candidate, and if he were to be our candidate that would be good for the country as well”.
“It’s just a way that our folks can have an app that we trust to get the numbers to us in a timely fashion”, D’Alessandro said. “Our economy works for Wall Street because it’s rigged by Wall Street and that’s the problem”.
According to local station KIMT, “the topic of the night for Sanders: money, money, money”.
Responding to the ad, Clinton’s campaign said Sanders was shifting into attack mode and breaking his pledge not to run negative advertising.
If Clinton wants more debates, he added, that’s awesome.
“My gut feeling is this is a very, very close election here in Iowa”, he said at a Bloomberg Politics breakfast briefing in Des Moines.
Meanwhile, Sanders released his medical history Thursday – something he had vowed to do before Iowa’s leadoff caucus.
“As we come in to the final days, we are focused on turning our people out… focused on increasing and maximizing support and… making sure we are in the right places”, said Matt Paul, Clinton’s Iowa campaign manager.
Fallon’s statement made no mention of Sanders’ proposal.
During Monday’s Democratic Forum, Sanders said, “I have been blessed with good health and good endurance”.
“Hillary is having trouble for a lot of reasons, but the greatest one is that she is Hillary Clinton”, said James Devine, a Democratic strategist who supports Sanders.
The letter notes that Sanders has, over the years, been treated for conditions ranging from gout to hypothyroidism to diverticulitis.
“You are in overall very good health and active in your professional work, and recreational lifestyle without limitation”, said the January 20 letter posted on Sanders’ campaign website.

It didn’t carry quite the same level of praise as Donald Trump’s health assessment, but it was a key step for the man who could become the oldest person to assume the presidency – he would turn 75 on Inauguration Day.
