The former secretary of state earned 55 percent to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' 33 percent.
Hillary Clinton is continuing to hold on to a significant double-digit lead over her closest challenger in Iowa, according to the results of the latest Monmouth University poll surveying likely Democratic caucus-goers, though her advantage has slipped in recent months.
The former secretary of state earned 55 percent to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' 33 percent, compared to 65 percent to 24 percent in the university's last poll conducted in late October. Meanwhile, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley picked up 6 percent this time, statistically unchanged from the 5 percent he received in the last survey.
Vis-à-vis Sanders, Clinton holds a wider advantage among women (61 percent to 27 percent) than men (47 percent to 42 percent). Sanders, however, leads Clinton 48 percent to 38 percent among likely caucus-goers under the age of 50, while Clinton holds a 63 percent-to-26 percent edge among voters over the half-century mark.
No matter their final choice, 43 percent said they would be enthusiastic and 45 percent said they would be satisfied with Clinton as the Democratic nominee, while 30 percent and 45 percent would be the same for Sanders' potential nomination.

(16,104 posts)Saturday (for those DWS fans ) Dec 19, 2015, third Democratic debate in Manchester, NH.
The coup de grace? Jan 17, 2016, fourth Democratic debate in Charleston, SC. A Sunday!
That sure seems like a lot of debates to me. Probably Senator Sanders (I-VT) thinks so, too!

That way I can cover both at one time!
I say that because my father, Dec. 21st, good-naturedly pointed out how screwed he was compared to everyone else! As you know, most of us get two distinct gift-giving celebrations! We always promised my father his birthday gifts would be under the tree!
Does this sound familiar?

(9,494 posts)Everyone is in town for the holidays and my party is always the first of a trilogy of Birthday parties...Me, Jesus and The Year!
There are always lights and decorations up, the stores are full of great gifts and no one ever forgets my Birthday gift (hey, they are shopping anyway)!
My best friend was born on April 15th. Everyone is depressed and broke! But at least it's memorable.
