Investor's Business Daily: "Hillary Clinton's Lead Over Sanders Nearly Vanishes"
Clinton Goes On Attack
Clinton, in response to her sagging poll numbers, has started to turn up the heat on Sanders, after all but ignoring the self-described socialist whose maverick campaign has been surprisingly resilient. CNN reported over the weekend that "a sense of anxiety is cascading through Hillary Clinton's campaign" over Sanders' gains.
Clinton recently attacked Sanders on his position on gun control, and released a campaign ad in Iowa and New Hampshire asserting that she is "the only one" who can beat whoever the Republican Party nominates.
And on Monday, in a clear attempt to appeal to Sanders' supporters, Clinton announced in Iowa her plans to impose a 4% "fair share surcharge" on incomes over $5 million. Sanders has proposed a series of tax hikes on the rich in the name of "income equality."
Clinton in recent weeks also has decried drug "price gouging" and attacked big merger deals, despite receiving heavy Wall Street donations, to try to shore up her left flank.

I agree that a single poll does not tell a story, but Friday, before the IBD/TIPP Poll that this editorial is hung on, I noticed the RCP averages are trending in Bernie's favor. This latest poll reinforces that trend. It's not the first to show the race tightening as the article claims, It's the fourth according to RCP, but one did sample before and after the debate. With this latest addition to the average, HRH's average score has fallen under 50 points to 48. This is all since mid December when HRH allegedly won the last debate.
