PPP (D) Iowa Poll-Clinton 46% Sanders 40% O'Malley 8%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Things are tightening up on the Democratic side. Hillary Clinton now leads
Bernie Sanders 46/40, with Martin O'Malley at 8%. Clinton is down 6 points
from her 52% a month ago, while Sanders is up 6 points from his previous 34%
standing. The increased tightness of the race has a lot more to do with Sanders
than it does Clinton. Clinton's favorability is 72/22 this month after being 73/19
last month, a minimal change. But Sanders' favorability has shot up from a 65/23
spread to now 79/13 so his popularity is clearly growing as the voting nears. The
good news for Clinton is that 78% of her voters are firmly committed to her,
compared to 64% of Sanders' who say the same for him. Clinton's lead goes up to
53/39 among those who have their minds totally made up.
O'Malley's continued presence in the race is helping Clinton. In Iowa we find his
supporters would prefer Sanders over Clinton 43/20, and in New Hampshire
they prefer Sanders over Clinton 47/13. So to some extent O'Malley is helping to
split the anti-Hillary vote.
There are some pretty big demographic divides in the Democratic race. Clinton
leads 52/36 with women, but Sanders is up 46/39 with men. Clinton leads 64/26
with seniors, but Sanders is up 55/33 with younger voters. Clinton's 47/38
advantage with middle aged voters pretty well mirrors the overall numbers.

7. I know, and I have come to the conclusion that HRC will win IA

and probably NH, but ya'know that corporate media wants a horse race. Remember Cruz beating T-rump by double figures? Well guess what, T-rump is now ahead. . . .

And PP being the most accurate in 2012, I trust them.

Brutally cold in IA currently.

It's a toss up as far as I'm concerned.

15. On caucus night couldn't supporters of O'Malley switch to another candidate if their

candidate doesn't meet a certain threshhold? If so, that might be more helpful for the Sanders campaign than Clinton.
