“Most of the ways you look at it, she’s stronger than the three-point race would suggest,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer.

This is supposed to be the gold standard of Iowa caucus polls

80% said it's time for a woman president. She is stronger with women than Sanders is with youth voters

Clinton's support is more solid than Sanders', and her advantage with women overrides his advantage with youth voters, Iowa Poll shows.

Here's the write up from Bloomberg-

Only one in three likely Democratic voters in the survey are first-time caucus-goers, who break decidedly toward Sanders. That compares with 60 percent in the final pre-caucus survey of 2008, when a wave of young voters and new participants helped Barack Obama overpower Clinton in Iowa.

In addition, the survey finds Clinton’s support is deeper and sturdier than Sanders’ across many areas, with 53 percent saying they'd be very enthusiastic with her as the party's nominee. Most tellingly, 83 percent of her voters say their minds are made up to support Clinton.

“Most of the ways you look at it, she’s stronger than the three-point race would suggest,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer.

Roxanne Caldwell Fee, 74, a retired teacher from Knoxville, said she was “very proud” that America elected an African-American man as president in 2008, "but now I want to have a woman in there." Four in five surveyed say it's time for a woman president.

I hope the O'Malley people don't get to harassed to join the BS group. Not sure about the caucus if that's controlled or not.

Love all the recent polling
I'd rather be Hillary than Bern at this point.
Still say she will win by a higher margin
