Bernie Sanders is ahead of Hillary Clinton in both Iowa and in New Hampshire for the first time in a CNN poll.

Appearing on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer, Clinton expressed bemusement at this line of attack, pointing out that Sanders is himself pretty well-established. And so I’ll let your viewers make their own judgment.
She pointed to comments Sanders made that the US should normalize relations with Iran and that Iran should be invited to send more troops to Syria to join in a military coalition with Saudi Arabia.
In recent weeks, Clinton has honed in on her rival’s health care plan, telling voters in Iowa and New Hampshire that his would dismantle the Affordable Health Care and start from scratch. Sanders was one of the first in Washington to oppose the Keystone Pipeline and the senator also came out against the proposed Bakken pipeline in the Midwest. The pressure on her Iowa operation was ratcheted up even more on Tuesday when a CNN/WMUR New Hampshire poll found Clinton down by 27 points to Vermont Sen. “Very generous. Now I know that some of my opponents are very good speakers, very fine orators, very smart people, but you gotta be really really, really good to get $225,000 a speech”.
After listing some of Sanders’ foreign policy ideas, Sullivan said, “When you look at all of these ideas, it’s pretty clear that he just hasn’t thought it through”.
While that may be the case in other states, the poll shows it is not now the case in New Hampshire, which, despite having only four electoral votes, for two decades has been a hotly contested swing state in presidential general elections.
“I voted against the war in Iraq, and that was the right vote”, Sanders says in the spot.
After performing her hit song “Confident”, Lovato told the crowd of mostly college students she didn’t think there was “a woman more confident than Hillary Clinton”.

While some of Clinton’s aides are sensing the urgency in the final 12 days, the former secretary of state responded by thanking the voters of Iowa. “The real issue is who can win the election, who is prepared to do the job and who can make real change”, said the Former President. And considering that Sanders has been making minority outreach an important part of his campaign, some people were a little bothered by that.
