Martinez said the three leading Democratic candidates – Clinton, Sanders and Martin O’Malley – were well received at a recent conference hosted by her organization in Kansas City, Missouri.

As Evan McMurry wrote for AlterNet, Sanders is recognized for his glowing record on climate change, and even if he does not win the nomination, he can influence the debate, in part by framing climate change as a primary issue. It showed that support for Mr Sanders was not the result of anti-Clinton sentiment – 96 per cent of respondents said they favoured Mr Sanders mostly because of who he is and his ideas, while only two per cent said they backed him because they did not support Mrs Clinton. “Overwhelmingly, that’s what they’re up to”.

Deepak Ariga, a physican who lives in Munster, said he’s tackling universal healthcare in his letters. He draws 14 percent support, up from 8 percent in May, and is the most popular politician in the field, viewed favorably by 79 percent of respondents. “I think that debates are a good thing”. “Just like Hillary Clinton epitomizes that on the left, Jeb Bush epitomizes that on the right“. Who has the intelligence? I think the voters in Iowa, these early states, want to kick the tires, ask the tough questions. “He is energizing people first in-person, then they’re going to their social networks and sharing that energy”. Note, for example, that the retired neurosurgeon, at least in this new poll, has more support than Walker and Cruz combined.

“This feels like 2008 all over again“, Selzer told the Register.

“Nobody is really doing much on television, but he has billboards quite everywhere”.

“I had an incredible medical career”, Carson said. “People know him”. She said voters are not only listening to Trump’s incendiary rhetoric but also paying attention to which candidates follow his lead and which ones denounce him and said that will be more important come nomination time.
